What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. In a small place like Coscote, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Clear loose items from the work area

Advice
TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Coscote
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Typical jobs include a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and grease drips onto cooking equipment, across extract fans, discharge points and horizontal duct runs. When a restaurant in Coscote asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is exactly what we do: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
For a kitchen in or near Coscote, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When to call us in Coscote
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 usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Hagbourne Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- If they look at the system before pricing
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
Kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on in Coscote
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
What happens if it’s left?
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. It’s simpler to plan the work at Coscote now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What accreditations do you hold?
We are members of Vent Hygiene Elite, the scheme run by BESCA, and we clean to BESA TR19® Grease. We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we’re fully insured.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
Coscote kitchens: local notes
There are about 28 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 25 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Coscote, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Coscote. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Coscote, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from South Oxfordshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Brightwell Manor, about 4.1 miles east, is one of the historic houses near Coscote; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Where a hall near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in Coscote, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- The condition of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The scale of the work
- The number of sites or systems
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
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, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
