What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Edgehill
Edgehill sits within the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. 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 Edgehill, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Cherwell council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Upton House is about 1 mile south), access may need planning.
Edgehill is about 6 miles north-west of Banbury, in Oxfordshire. We provide kitchen extract cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Edgehill and the rest of Oxfordshire. Across Oxfordshire, we cover 443 places, and Edgehill is one of them. For sites nearby, see our Oxford page (27 miles or so).

How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Edgehill
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and grease settles in every one of them. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. If you’re dealing with grease dripping from the canopy or filters and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history, we can help, from canopies and hoods, discharge points and plenums and filters onwards. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Edgehill? Duct Doctor has covered London and 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 Edgehill, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Why act early in Edgehill
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the fan strains to keep up. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. With notice, the visit to Edgehill can be fitted around your bookings and events.
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.

Questions from Edgehill
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Edgehill?
It’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Edgehill. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you come to Edgehill after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Edgehill needn’t be disturbed. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Where there are not enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
How long will the clean take?
Allow one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Edgehill?
We do not 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. We fix the price before work begins.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Edgehill
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and it does not stop until it reaches the fan.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
Where a hall near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Edgehill, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they carry
- Whether VAT is included
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition we find in the survey
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Travel, parking and unloading
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What a clean won’t put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
- Extract fans
- Discharge points
- Vertical risers
What we do, step by step
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work 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 Edgehill run smoothly.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system 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
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Related advice
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, and equipment can be switched back on once we’ve gone.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
Grease filters
A filter that is missing or bent lets grease straight past. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that don’t.
