Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in East Hanney
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Anything out of reach is noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted. The work covers plenums and filters, discharge points and extract fans, and the jobs we see most are fat running down the canopy edge and poor airflow at the canopy. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in East Hanney? We have been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
Somewhere as small as East Hanney, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

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. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to East Hanney run smoothly.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, 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.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear loose items from the work area

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The number of sites or systems
- Travel, parking and unloading
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Grease, kitchens and East Hanney
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers East Hanney. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. At about 57 miles from central London, East Hanney sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around East Hanney (Longworth House is about 4.5 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care. Where a hall near Church of St James, or anywhere in East Hanney, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

East Hanney questions
Who inspects food businesses in East Hanney?
In East Hanney, it’s Vale of White Horse 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.
Is East Hanney within the area you cover?
Yes, East Hanney is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19 is not written into law, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in East Hanney
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so those sections were never reached. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
School kitchens, at schools like St James Church of England Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Other services in East Hanney
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
You get a photo report after every clean. Before and after photos show each part of the system, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
How the job changes from site to site
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.
Extract fan and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to cut noise, and they hold grease. Where they can be cleaned, they are, and the report notes anything that cannot.
