Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Hampton Poyle
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The times the site is available
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Where the site is and how we reach it
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Hampton Poyle
Look up Hampton Poyle on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 12 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 6 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hampton Poyle. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. The fire and rescue service for Hampton Poyle is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Kitchens in Hampton Poyle get their food hygiene inspections from Cherwell council. 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.
Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Hampton Poyle, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Acland Hospital (about 5.2 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Extract fan and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. We clean what can be reached and note anything that cannot.
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.
Common questions in Hampton Poyle
Is Hampton Poyle within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Hampton Poyle is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can school kitchens in Hampton Poyle be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 6 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Hampton Poyle. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll fit the work in.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. We need the equipment cool, and we leave the kitchen ready to cook.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What information do you need?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
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, which grease thickness testing will show.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Hampton Poyle
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
School kitchens, at schools like Gosford Hill School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Questions to ask before booking
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- How VAT is shown on the quote
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
You leave with a date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date isn’t missed.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. The timing of a visit to Hampton Poyle is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
