Kitchen extract cleaning in Horspath, done properly
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you have poor airflow at the canopy and fat running down the canopy edge, we can put it right, from horizontal duct runs, plenums and filters and canopies and hoods onwards. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Horspath, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
For a kitchen in or near Horspath, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Horspath knowing what to expect.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How many systems or sites are involved
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: 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.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Horspath
The FSA’s data shows about 4 pubs and bars registered across Horspath and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Horspath 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. Environmental health officers from South Oxfordshire council inspect food businesses in Horspath. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. 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 Horspath Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Horspath, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Giles or elsewhere in Horspath, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Horspath?
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and from there it travels on to the fan.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Slade Hospital (about 1.3 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a survey comes first
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Proof of accreditation you can verify

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, and equipment can be switched back on once we’ve gone.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.

Questions from Horspath
Can the work in Horspath be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Horspath needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Horspath out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Horspath. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will fit the work in.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. TR19 is the industry benchmark for meeting that duty in a kitchen extract, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What happens if it’s left?
If your kitchen in Horspath is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. It takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you do not lose a service. Waiting only adds grease and risk. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

- A written report with pictures after each visit
