Kitchen extract cleaning in Little Milton
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. If you have an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and years of baked-on grease in the ducts, we can put it right, from plenums and filters, horizontal duct runs and discharge points onwards. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Little Milton, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
In a small place like Little Milton, 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Grease, kitchens and Little Milton
Environmental health officers from South Oxfordshire council inspect food businesses in Little Milton. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Little Milton sits within the area of 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.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Little Milton Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like NHS Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group about 4.9 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Historic houses near Little Milton, such as Garsington Manor about 2.4 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
Extract fan and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. We clean what can be reached and note anything that cannot.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning

- Any permits to work or inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How big the system is
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.

You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted

How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Somewhere as small as Little Milton, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- 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.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Ask for a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Why deal with it now?
TR19® is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. 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. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Why us?
