Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Childrey
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract systems since 2009. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. Common call-outs are for ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and a kitchen taken over without any extract records, across canopies and hoods, plenums and filters and vertical risers. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Childrey, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, with grease readings setting the real interval.
Somewhere as small as Childrey, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Kitchen extracts in Childrey
Fire safety in Childrey falls to Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. About 60 miles out from central London, Childrey is part of the South East area we work across. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as The Ridgeway Church of England (C) Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Childrey is about 2 miles west of Wantage, in Oxfordshire. Anywhere in OX12, we can take on kitchen extract cleaning. 443 places in Oxfordshire are on our list, large and small. For sites nearby, see our Oxford page, about 16 miles away.
We work across OX12 for kitchen extract cleaning and the streets around it. If you need kitchen extract cleaning at premises on High Street, Hollow Way and Stowhill or a nearby road, we can help. Close by, we work in West Challow (1 mile north-east), East Challow (1 mile east), Letcombe Regis (1 mile south-east), Letcombe Bassett (2 miles south-east) and Wantage (2 miles east). Larger places within reach include Didcot (10 miles east), Abingdon-on-Thames (11 miles north-east), Witney (14 miles north), Carterton (14 miles north), Grove (3 miles north-east) and Faringdon (7 miles north-west).
Landmarks near Childrey
Typical jobs here are in premises near King Alfred's and The Hatchet Public House and the streets around them. A little further out are Williams F1 Grand Prix Collection (3.8 miles north-east). Open spaces near Childrey include Letcombe Valley and Chain Hill.
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

What else we do in Childrey
What we are called out for in Childrey
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Childrey, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What to look for in a quote
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Childrey can be planned properly.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, so grease readings help set the right interval.
Childrey questions
Can you get to a site in Childrey?
Yes, Childrey is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you work in Childrey outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
Why deal with it now?
An overdue clean in Childrey is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. The job takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and we fit around your opening hours. Waiting only adds grease and risk. A fault that closes a site in a village like Childrey affects everyone who depends on it.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Why us?
- Full insurance on every job
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001

What affects the quote in Childrey
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The number of sites or systems
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The site address and the type of premises
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
