About our kitchen extract cleaning in Great Western Park
Any kitchen we clean in Great Western Park gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. If you have fat running down the canopy edge and stale cooking odours from the system, we can put it right. 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.
Most kitchens in Great Western Park fall into one of BESA’s three bands: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
In a smaller place like Great Western Park, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

FAQs for Great Western Park
Will you come out to Great Western Park?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you work at weekends in Great Western Park?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Great Western Park keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
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. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
BESA guidance sets minimums by daily cooking hours: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Measured grease levels set the real interval.
How long will the clean take?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. Most jobs take one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
Great Western Park kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 31 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 27 sandwich bars and takeaways in Great Western Park and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Great Western Park is covered by 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. Food hygiene inspections in Great Western Park are the job of Vale of White Horse council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as GEMS Didcot Primary Academy or anywhere near Great Western Park, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Wash or exchange the filters often
You leave with a date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date isn’t missed.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Great Western Park
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so those sections were never reached. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Great Western Park is Abingdon Community Hospital, about 4.7 miles north.

Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. We plan the clean around meal times and work in a contained, tidy way with as little disruption as possible.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service isn’t an option for most restaurants and pubs. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
How it works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Around Great Western Park, access is usually simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Clear the space around the work
