Islip kitchen extract cleaning
We cover Islip for kitchen extract cleaning. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures on every job.
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
Why deal with it now?
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. A fault that closes a site in a village like Islip affects everyone who depends on it.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Islip
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report and extra access panels can be added. The work covers discharge points, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs, and the jobs we see most are ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but in Islip, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, so that’s where most of the work in Islip goes.
Somewhere as small as Islip, 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What happens on the day
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. In a small place like Islip, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about parking and loading

Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.

Islip questions
Who is the fire and rescue service for Islip?
It’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Islip. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you get to a site in Islip?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Islip is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
How long will the clean take?
Short systems are done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
No law names TR19 directly, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
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.
Islip kitchens: local notes
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Islip. 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. At about 54 miles from central London, Islip sits well inside the area we cover. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Islip is Churchill Hospital, about 4.1 miles south. Commuter trade near Islip station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. For schools such as Dr South's Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Islip
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How big the system is
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any previous report or certificate
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
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 photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Part by part
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that do not.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
When something else is needed
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A broken extract fan that will not run
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
