What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Ducklington
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Ducklington give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. If you have heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, we can put it right, from canopies and hoods, discharge points and plenums and filters onwards. When a restaurant in Ducklington asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that’s exactly what we do: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, so that is where most of the work in Ducklington goes.
Somewhere as small as Ducklington, 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, whatever the size of the place.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Why act early in Ducklington
A clogged extract does not only raise the fire risk. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky, while the fan works harder to move less air. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Common questions in Ducklington
Can you work in Ducklington outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Ducklington can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Ducklington in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 8 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Ducklington. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll fit the work in.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.

What else we do in Ducklington
Common problems we fix in Ducklington
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. 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. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Bartholomew, or anywhere in Ducklington, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Proof of insurance
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
The process
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Ducklington.
- 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.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A grease trap that needs emptying
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
Behind the grease filters sits the plenum, which daily cleaning never reaches. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
Grease, kitchens and Ducklington
Food Standards Agency data counts about 28 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 19 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Ducklington. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. Food hygiene inspections in Ducklington are the job of West Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Ducklington is 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Ducklington Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Ducklington (Minster Lovell Hall is about 3 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care.

What’s near Ducklington
Typical jobs here are in premises near The Henry Box School and the streets around them. Nearby you’ll also find Cogges Manor Farm Museum (1.2 miles north) and Bampton Castle (4.1 miles south-west).
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
You leave with a date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date is not missed.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
