Kitchen duct cleaning in Chinnor
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. For a kitchen in Chinnor, our certificate and photo report give you that record for the maintenance log. The work covers horizontal duct runs, plenums and filters and discharge points, and people most often call us about heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and rancid smells from grease in the duct. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Chinnor? We have been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
Most kitchens in Chinnor fall into one of BESA’s three bands: 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.
Around a smaller place like Chinnor, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. In a smaller place like Chinnor, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Kitchen extracts in Chinnor
Food Standards Agency records list about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Chinnor and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. It’s South Oxfordshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Chinnor. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Chinnor sits within the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Adwell House is about 3.6 miles west), access may need planning.

Chinnor questions
Which fire service covers Chinnor?
It’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Chinnor. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Chinnor?
In Chinnor, it’s South Oxfordshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
When do you clean the extract?
When the kitchen is closed, at whatever time suits you. We need the equipment cool, and we leave the kitchen ready to cook.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Chinnor
A kitchen in Chinnor builds up grease in the same places as any other: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Andrew's Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What affects the quote in Chinnor
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- How big the system is
- The times the site is available
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Travel, parking and unloading
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- A few general shots of the system
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
Every clean ends with a photo report. Before and after photos show each part of the system, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
