- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Highmoor, done properly
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Highmoor give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. The work covers canopies and hoods, vertical risers and extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and fat running down the canopy edge. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across Oxfordshire.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
Somewhere as small as Highmoor, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, 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.

What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Highmoor.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Why it’s worth doing now in Highmoor
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, and that takes more work to shift. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. If the system at a site near Highmoor fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Highmoor
Highmoor sits within the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in Highmoor get their food hygiene inspections from South Oxfordshire council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
For schools such as Stoke Row Church of England School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Paul or anywhere around Highmoor, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Highmoor
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition we find in the survey
- How many systems or sites are involved
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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.
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
You get a photo report after every clean. Before and after pictures show each part of the system, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
Common problems we fix in Highmoor
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and from there it travels on to the fan.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Greys Court is about 2 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

FAQs for Highmoor
Can you get to a site in Highmoor?
Yes, Highmoor is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you work in Highmoor outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Highmoor can fit around your hours. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
How long will the clean take?
It takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19® itself isn’t law. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
