A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
For a kitchen in or near Fawler, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: 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.

How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Fawler.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Advice
Also in Fawler
Fawler: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Fawler?
Food hygiene inspections in Fawler 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.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Fawler?
It’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Fawler. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19® itself isn’t law. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
Cleans are timed to avoid service. Most kitchens book us overnight or at weekends, so you do not lose a service.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, and readings will tell you.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Why deal with it now?
Any food business in Fawler can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. A clean extract is one less thing to worry about on the day. With notice, the visit to Fawler can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
What affects the quote in Fawler
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition of the system
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The site address and the type of premises
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.
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. That is part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Fawler kitchens: local notes
Fawler is covered by 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. Environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council inspect food businesses in Fawler. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Where a hall near Church of the Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Fawler, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Finstock Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Fawler, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. For kitchens close to Finstock station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
