Kitchen extract cleaning in Iffley
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. The work covers vertical risers, canopies and hoods and extract fans, and the jobs we see most are missing paperwork after a change of operator and grease smells coming from the extract. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Iffley? We’ve been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
A clean in Iffley covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
Kitchens around a place like Iffley are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
Every clean ends with a photo report. It shows the system before and after, part by part, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. 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 job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
Grease filters
A filter that’s missing or bent lets grease straight past. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that do not.
What we are called out for in Iffley
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and it does not stop until it reaches the fan.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Poor airflow at the canopy
A hospital like NHS Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group, about 0.9 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Questions to ask before you book
- What hours they’ll be on site
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- How they set the interval to the next visit
What affects the quote in Iffley
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The condition of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Parking and loading at the site
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. A site near Iffley usually has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- 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.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Advice
Iffley kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 22 pubs, bars and clubs and about 4 hotels and guest houses as registered food businesses in and around Iffley, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Fire safety in Iffley falls to Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Food hygiene inspections in Iffley are the job of Oxford City council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Iffley (Holywell Manor is about 2 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Rose Hill Primary School or anywhere near Iffley, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Leave it or put it right?
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
