Kitchen Extract Cleaning in East Hendred
Kitchen extract cleaning across East Hendred and nearby, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and photos.
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date isn’t missed.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in East Hendred
Across East Hendred, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. If you have years of baked-on grease in the ducts and rancid smells from grease in the duct, we can put it right. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but in East Hendred, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
Most kitchens in East Hendred fall into one of BESA’s three bands: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, with grease readings setting the real interval.
For a kitchen in or near East Hendred, 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.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

- A grease trap that needs emptying
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The size of the system
- The condition we find in the survey
- The times the site is available
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
If you need kitchen extract cleaning in East Hendred, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. The timing of a visit to East Hendred is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from 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.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in East Hendred
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, which is slower to clean. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. In a small place like East Hendred, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.

East Hendred: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for East Hendred?
East Hendred is in the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you get to a site in East Hendred?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the photos show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where necessary.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
Our work is to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, with certificates issued through the BESCA portal. We’ve been trading since 2009.
How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
Behind the grease filters sits the plenum, which daily cleaning never reaches. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
