Kitchen extract cleaning in Great Rollright
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and each part collects grease. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. Common call-outs are for a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer and a kitchen taken over without any extract records, across canopies and hoods, discharge points and horizontal duct runs. Kitchens in Great Rollright book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Great Rollright
Will you come out to Great Rollright?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Great Rollright is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work at weekends in Great Rollright?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Great Rollright can fit around your hours. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Normally, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we’ll survey first.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
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.
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.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
Grease, kitchens and Great Rollright
Food hygiene inspections in Great Rollright are the job of West Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. 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. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Great Rollright. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Great Rollright (Chastleton House is about 4.9 miles west), fitting access panels needs care. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Great Rollright Church of England (Aided) Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Great Rollright is about 10 miles south-west of Banbury, in Oxfordshire. Across the OX7 area, we cover kitchen extract cleaning for commercial sites. Great Rollright is one of 443 towns, villages and districts in Oxfordshire we cover for kitchen extract cleaning. There’s also a page for Oxford, about 20 miles away.
We work across OX7 for kitchen extract cleaning and the roads nearby.

Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. We clean both inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens often cook for long hours, frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. Cleans are done after close, overnight or before opening.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.

What we are called out for in Great Rollright
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so those sections were never reached. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
Where a hall near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in Great Rollright, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What your quote should include
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether VAT is included
- Proof of insurance
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
What happens if it’s left?
An overdue clean in Great Rollright is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. The job takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you do not lose a service. Waiting only adds grease and risk. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Great Rollright is calmer for everyone.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

When something else is needed
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Plenums and filters

- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
What happens on the day
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’re 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. In a small place like Great Rollright, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
