Grease, kitchens and Long Hanborough
Look up Long Hanborough on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 7 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Long Hanborough. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Food hygiene inspections in Long Hanborough are the job of West Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Long Hanborough. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
For schools such as Hanborough Manor CofE School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Blenheim Palace is about 1.9 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you cook for passing trade around Combe station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

About our kitchen extract cleaning in Long Hanborough
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and each part collects grease. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. The work covers discharge points, vertical risers and canopies and hoods, and people most often call us about extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, it’s the job we do every week across Oxfordshire.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Long Hanborough: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Around a smaller place like Long Hanborough, 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. We plan the clean around meal times and work in a contained, tidy way with as little disruption as possible.
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that don’t.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. That is part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
Long Hanborough questions
Which fire authority looks after Long Hanborough?
Long Hanborough is in the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Who inspects food businesses in Long Hanborough?
Kitchens in Long Hanborough are inspected by West Oxfordshire council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Long Hanborough?

When it’s something else
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- What state the system is in
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How big the system is
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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.
What else we do in Long Hanborough
Leave it or put it right?
A clogged extract does not 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. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Long Hanborough at a time that suits you.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work 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 Long Hanborough, 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
How to get a quote
