Filchampstead: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for Filchampstead?
Filchampstead is in the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Filchampstead?
In Filchampstead, it’s Vale of White Horse council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Filchampstead?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
The whole system: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Filchampstead
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Send a few pictures of the canopy and filters when you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll come back with a fixed price for the work in Filchampstead, normally within one working day. If you are dealing with a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, we can put it right. When a restaurant in Filchampstead 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.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
In a small place like Filchampstead, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Kitchen extracts in Filchampstead
Filchampstead is about 56 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. In Filchampstead, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Vale of White Horse council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Filchampstead is Radcliffe Infirmary, about 3.6 miles east.

Why act early in Filchampstead

The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Why us?
- Every visit written up, with photos
- Full insurance on every job
- We diagnose before we treat
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Parking and loading at the site
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
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.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
- Discharge points
How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Filchampstead and turn up when the site is quiet.
- 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.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
