Glympton kitchen extract cleaning
Need kitchen extract cleaning in Glympton? We survey first, send you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, then sign off with a report and pictures.

How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Somewhere as small as Glympton, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Advice
How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Glympton
A closed kitchen isn’t earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. The work covers discharge points, extract fans and canopies and hoods, and common reasons people get in touch are fat running down the canopy edge and grease smells coming from the extract. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Glympton? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, which is why a TR19® clean in Glympton goes well beyond the canopy.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What else we do in Glympton
Managing agents and facilities teams in Glympton
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning will not do:
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on in Glympton
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, giving you before and after readings alongside the pictures. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
Why act early in Glympton
Leaving the clean until the next refit doesn’t make the grease go away. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, and that takes more work to shift. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Glympton: the local picture
It’s West Oxfordshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Glympton. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Glympton is 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Glympton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

When to call us in Glympton
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. That’s why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Blenheim Palace is about 3.5 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Do you work overnight in Glympton?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Glympton can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
What accreditations do you hold?
Our work is to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, with certificates issued through the BESCA portal. Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
