Managing agents and facilities teams in Hook Norton
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
About our kitchen extract cleaning in Hook Norton
Any kitchen we clean in Hook Norton 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. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. Common call-outs are for years of baked-on grease in the ducts and grease drips onto cooking equipment, on horizontal duct runs, extract fans and vertical risers. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Hook Norton covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
Around a smaller place like Hook Norton, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- An undersized canopy or fan
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Discharge points
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
What we’re called out for in Hook Norton
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
Clients normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Hook Norton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a survey comes first
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Hook Norton
Which fire authority looks after Hook Norton?
Fire safety enforcement in Hook Norton is handled by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Who inspects food businesses in Hook Norton?
Kitchens in Hook Norton are inspected by Cherwell council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
Everything from canopy to discharge: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we cannot reach is recorded on the report.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
What do I get after the clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
The clean is done when the kitchen is not cooking, so evenings, overnight, early mornings and weekends are all options. Equipment needs to be off and cool before we start.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How it works
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 the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Hook Norton when you book.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- 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
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Hook Norton
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The times the site is available
- The number of sites or systems
- How big the system is
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- A few general shots of the system
For kitchen extract cleaning in Hook Norton, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.
Extract fan and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. We clean what can be reached and note anything that can’t.
What happens if it’s left?
Any food business in Hook Norton can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters won’t go unnoticed. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll talk you through it.
