Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Ewelme
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Ewelme give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. If you’re dealing with a system with no record of a TR19 clean and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, we can put it right, from discharge points, horizontal duct runs and extract fans onwards. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Ewelme covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
Somewhere as small as Ewelme, 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, 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.

FAQs for Ewelme
Can the work in Ewelme be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you work in villages like Ewelme?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Ewelme included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
Other services in Ewelme
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. For a village or hamlet like Ewelme, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Advice
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The times the site is available
- Parking and loading at the site
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
What we’re called out for in Ewelme
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
Historic houses near Ewelme, such as Brightwell Manor about 4.2 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
Grease, kitchens and Ewelme
Ewelme is about 43 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Environmental health officers from South Oxfordshire council inspect food businesses in Ewelme. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Ewelme, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. For schools such as Ewelme CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Ewelme is about 8 miles east of Didcot, in Oxfordshire. Whatever kind of site you run in Ewelme, we can take on kitchen extract cleaning. We can work out of hours so the site keeps running.

What happens if it’s left?
Grease that is left only gets thicker. 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. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. In a place like Ewelme, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
