Why act early in Great Holcombe
Leaving the clean until the next refit doesn’t make the grease go away. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, which is slower to clean. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. In a place like Great Holcombe, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.

Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Great Holcombe
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in Great Holcombe, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. We’re often asked to deal with a system with no record of a TR19 clean and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit, on discharge points, extract fans and vertical risers. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
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 Great Holcombe goes well beyond the canopy.
In a small place like Great Holcombe, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The size of the system
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
- A few general shots of the system
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Part by part
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
Canopy and plenum
Behind the grease filters sits the plenum, which daily cleaning never reaches. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Great Holcombe
Great Holcombe sits within the area of 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. At about 45 miles from central London, Great Holcombe sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Great Holcombe is Littlemore Hospital, about 5.8 miles north-west. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Garsington Manor is about 3.8 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Giles or elsewhere in Great Holcombe, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Great Holcombe is about 3 miles north of Benson, in Oxfordshire. Anywhere in OX10, we can take on kitchen extract cleaning. Great Holcombe is one of 443 towns, villages and districts in Oxfordshire we cover for kitchen extract cleaning. There’s also a page for Oxford, about 8 miles away.

What’s near Great Holcombe

For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.

Great Holcombe questions
Which environmental health team covers Great Holcombe?
Kitchens in Great Holcombe are inspected by South Oxfordshire council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Will you come out to Great Holcombe?
Yes. Great Holcombe is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
We clean to BESA TR19® Grease as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, and certificates go through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. We’ve been trading since 2009.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
The whole system: the canopy, the plenum behind the filters, the filters, horizontal ducts, vertical risers, the fan and the discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we can’t reach is recorded on the report.
What do I get after the clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
How much notice do you need?
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.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. For a village or hamlet like Great Holcombe, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- 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.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
Related advice
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
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’ve 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, which slows build-up further down the system.
