Kitchen extract cleaning in Enstone, done properly
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. If you have an extract that no longer clears the smoke and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate, we can put it right. When a restaurant in Enstone asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is 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, which is why a TR19® clean in Enstone goes well beyond the canopy.
For a kitchen in or near Enstone, 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.
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, trading since 2009.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Enstone
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Enstone.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- 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
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether several sites go on one quote
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 any work starts.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
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.
Why act early in Enstone
Every week without a clean adds another layer. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. Planning a trip to Enstone ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will explain what it covers.

Questions from Enstone
Which environmental health team covers Enstone?
Food hygiene inspections in Enstone are carried out by West Oxfordshire council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can the work in Enstone be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Enstone keeps running as normal. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Enstone?
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. You get a fixed price before work begins.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
Do you cover Enstone?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Enstone.
Kitchen extract cleaning around Enstone
Kitchens in Enstone get their food hygiene inspections from West Oxfordshire council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Enstone sits within the area of 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Kenelm, or anywhere in Enstone, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Enstone Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What the work involves, part by part
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
