Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Littlemore
We have been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers extract fans, discharge points and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are grease dripping from the canopy or filters and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Littlemore, you get one team and one number for every site.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Littlemore: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Around a smaller place like Littlemore, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Questions from Littlemore
Do you cover smaller places like Littlemore?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Littlemore is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can the work in Littlemore be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Littlemore doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
It takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Usually, yes. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Littlemore?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we will typically reply within one working day.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Littlemore
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.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Littlemore, so let us know how to reach it.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
Kitchen extract cleaning in Littlemore: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 11 pubs and bars and about 4 hotels and B&Bs across Littlemore and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. It’s Oxford City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Littlemore. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Littlemore is covered by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary and St Nicholas, or anywhere in Littlemore, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Emmanuel Christian School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens often cook for long hours, frying and grilling, which can put them in BESA’s 3 or 6-monthly bands. We clean after close or before opening.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
What we are called out for in Littlemore
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Littlemore Hospital about within half a mile south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
