Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Freeland
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and each part collects grease. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. If you are dealing with proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and grease smells coming from the extract, we can help. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Freeland? We’ve been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
A clean in Freeland covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
For a kitchen in or near Freeland, 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.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Questions from Freeland
Which council inspects kitchens in Freeland?
The local authority for Freeland is West Oxfordshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can the work in Freeland be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Freeland keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Can you quote from photos?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will usually reply within one working day.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, and equipment can be switched back on once we have gone.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- A fan motor that has burnt out
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers

Grease, kitchens and Freeland
There are about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Freeland, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council inspect food businesses in Freeland. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Freeland is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Freeland (Blenheim Palace is about 2.6 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Freeland, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Freeland is about 4 miles north-east of Witney, in Oxfordshire. Whether your site is in the middle of Freeland or further out, kitchen extract cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building. Freeland is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire where we work for kitchen extract cleaning. We also work in Oxford, about 9 miles from Freeland.

Leave it or put it right?
TR19® isn’t law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. In a place like Freeland, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Freeland and across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Freeland?
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Freeland Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Freeland, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Somewhere as small as Freeland, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Move anything stored near the system
Ask for a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
