Kitchen duct cleaning in Enslow
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with photos of the canopy and filters, and you will have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Enslow, normally within one working day. The work covers plenums and filters, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are a kitchen taken over without any extract records and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in Enslow covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and readings afterwards go into your report.
Work in a small place like Enslow starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Enslow: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Enslow?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Enslow can fit around your hours. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Which fire service covers Enslow?
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Enslow. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. We will recommend a date after measuring the grease.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Enslow?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. Where they can be cleaned, they are, and the report notes anything that can’t.
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.
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
The report gives a recommended 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.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and we clear up before we go. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Enslow, let us know and we will plan around it.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Advice
Grease, kitchens and Enslow
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Enslow. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. Fire safety in Enslow falls to 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. Environmental health officers from Cherwell council inspect food businesses in Enslow. 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of Holy Cross or anywhere around Enslow, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Bletchingdon Parochial Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
When to call us in Enslow
A kitchen in Enslow builds up grease in the same places as any other: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
Blenheim Palace, about 3 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses near Enslow; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Questions to ask before booking
