About our kitchen extract cleaning in Kingston Lisle
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Common call-outs are for an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and an extract that no longer clears the smoke, across vertical risers, plenums and filters and canopies and hoods. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Kingston Lisle, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
In a small place like Kingston Lisle, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, and grease can collect there too. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
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.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Kingston Lisle
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Kingston Lisle?
That’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you get to a site in Kingston Lisle?
Yes. Kingston Lisle is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we are fully insured.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Kingston Lisle?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before any work starts.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. As a guide, it takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Kitchen extracts in Kingston Lisle
The fire and rescue service for Kingston Lisle is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in Kingston Lisle get their food hygiene inspections from Vale of White Horse council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Ashdown House is about 4.7 miles south-west), access may need planning. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Faringdon Day Hospital (about 5.2 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Kingston Lisle is about 5 miles west of Wantage, in Oxfordshire. Kingston Lisle gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with photos. Our Oxfordshire coverage runs to 443 places, Kingston Lisle among them. Oxford is in our area too, around 17 miles away.
Work in OX12 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. Kitchen extract cleaning is available to premises on Hill View, Drove Way and Fawler Road and the roads around them. If your site is just outside Kingston Lisle, we cover Westcot (1 mile east), Sparsholt (1 mile east), Woolstone (2 miles west), Upper Lambourn (5 miles south) and Sheepdrove (5 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Didcot (12 miles east), Abingdon-on-Thames (12 miles north-east), Witney (14 miles north), Carterton (13 miles north), Wantage (5 miles east) and Grove (5 miles east).

What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- An undersized canopy or fan

- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.

Common problems we fix in Kingston Lisle
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and it doesn’t stop until it reaches the fan.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St John the Baptist or anywhere around Kingston Lisle, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report.

- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.

Why it’s worth doing now in Kingston Lisle
A clogged extract doesn’t only raise the fire risk. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the fan strains to keep up. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
