TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Dean Court
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. The work covers discharge points, canopies and hoods and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Dean Court? We’ve been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Dean Court: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
For a smaller kitchen near Dean Court, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
What else we do in Dean Court
Dean Court kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 10 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 7 takeaways in and around Dean Court, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Dean Court. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Dean Court, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Vale of White Horse 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.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Radcliffe Infirmary about 2.2 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. For schools such as Matthew Arnold School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Dean Court is about 3 miles west of Oxford, in Oxfordshire.

What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
Any section without access is marked on the report. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. 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.
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Dean Court?
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and it does not stop until it reaches the fan.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Andrew's or anywhere around Dean Court, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Dean Court
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The times the site is available
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
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 are unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Dean Court
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Dean Court out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Dean Court. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
Which fire service covers Dean Court?
Fire safety enforcement in Dean Court is handled by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
BESA guidance gives minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months, depending on daily cooking hours. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, which grease thickness testing will show.
Is Dean Court in your area?
Yes. Dean Court is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
