Kitchen extract cleaning in Eynsham
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Anything out of reach is noted in the report and extra access panels can be added. We’re often asked to deal with proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate, across vertical risers, canopies and hoods and horizontal duct runs. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Eynsham? We have been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, with grease readings setting the real interval.
For a smaller kitchen near Eynsham, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

Eynsham: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Eynsham?
Food hygiene inspections in Eynsham are carried out by West Oxfordshire council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Eynsham?
That is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
What does TR19 mean?
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.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. In a place like Eynsham, we fit the visit around your hours.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- 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.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for 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 pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Leave it or put it right?
Environmental health officers inspect food businesses, in Eynsham as everywhere else, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters will not go unnoticed. A clean extract is one less thing to worry about on the day. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Why Eynsham businesses choose us
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- Every job surveyed first
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout

Part by part
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, and grease can collect there too. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Where the site is and how we reach it
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Need a price for kitchen extract cleaning? Please give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site. We’ll explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Kitchen extract cleaning around Eynsham
Food Standards Agency records list about 9 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Eynsham. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. It’s West Oxfordshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Eynsham. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Eynsham 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.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Blenheim Palace is about 4.1 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. For schools such as Bartholomew School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Eynsham?
A kitchen in Eynsham builds up grease in the same places as any other: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Poor airflow at the canopy
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Leonard or elsewhere in Eynsham, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
