About our kitchen extract cleaning in Cookley Green
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That film is fuel, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. If you have a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction, we can help. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, it’s the job we do every week across Oxfordshire.
A clean in Cookley Green covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
Work in a small place like Cookley Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Cookley Green
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Cookley Green questions
Which environmental health team covers Cookley Green?
In Cookley Green, it’s South Oxfordshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Cookley Green?
That is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
When do you clean the extract?
The clean is done when the kitchen is not cooking, so evenings, overnight, early mornings and weekends are all options. We need the equipment switched off and cooled first.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
What we do, step by step
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Cookley Green knowing what to expect.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Advice
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Cookley Green
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
Clients typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Botolph or elsewhere in Cookley Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What your quote should include
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether VAT is included
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed

What the work involves, part by part
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
What affects the quote in Cookley Green
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How easy every part is to reach
- The scale of the work
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The site address and the type of premises
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
