Questions from Kingston Blount
Which fire authority looks after Kingston Blount?
Fire safety enforcement in Kingston Blount is handled by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you work at weekends in Kingston Blount?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Kingston Blount keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
How long will the clean take?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be 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.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. Without proof, a claim can be refused or reduced, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Kingston Blount
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted. The work covers extract fans, canopies and hoods and plenums and filters, and the jobs we see most are a kitchen taken over without any extract records and grease drips onto cooking equipment. When a restaurant in Kingston Blount asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that’s our main job: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, which is why a TR19® clean in Kingston Blount goes well beyond the canopy.
In a small place like Kingston Blount, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. In a small place like Kingston Blount, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How big the system is
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
Behind the grease filters sits the plenum, which daily cleaning never reaches. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
Common problems we fix in Kingston Blount
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Aston Rowant Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
What your quote should include
- What records you will receive afterwards
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.

What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
