On site, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Great Tew run smoothly.
- 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.

TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Great Tew
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Great Tew give you that record for the maintenance log. If you are dealing with proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and ductwork thick with old, hardened grease, we can help. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Great Tew, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.
Most kitchens in Great Tew fall into one of BESA’s three bands: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
Work in a small place like Great Tew starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Keep the baffle filters clean
Any section without access is marked on the report. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
Great Tew: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Great Tew?
Yes. Great Tew is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which environmental health team covers Great Tew?
In Great Tew, it’s West Oxfordshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
How long will the clean take?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
Can you price the work without visiting?
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 do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after photos, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
Under BESA guidance, the minimum depends on how long you cook each day: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Measured grease levels set the real interval.
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, and grease can collect there too. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Great Tew
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Great Tew. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Food hygiene inspections in Great Tew are the job of West Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Michael and All Angels or elsewhere in Great Tew, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Great Tew County Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What affects the quote in Great Tew
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How big the system is
- What state the system is in
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business
- A few general shots of the system
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Why it’s worth doing now in Great Tew
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, which is slower to clean. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. It’s simpler to plan the work at Great Tew now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
