Longcot kitchens: local notes
Fire safety in Longcot falls to 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. Food hygiene inspections in Longcot are the job of Vale of White Horse council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Longcot is Faringdon Day Hospital, about 2.9 miles north. Buscot Park, about 4.1 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses near Longcot; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Longcot
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with photos of the canopy and filters, and you’ll have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Longcot, usually within one working day. The work covers extract fans, discharge points and canopies and hoods, and the jobs we see most are missing paperwork after a change of operator and stale cooking odours from the system. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Longcot typically mean the kitchen extract, and that’s exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
Somewhere as small as Longcot, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Longcot
A kitchen in Longcot builds up grease in the same places as any other: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Longcot, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Before you book anyone
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Proof of insurance
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
For landlords and multi-site operators
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 can quote for the whole system.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Longcot and across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Longcot.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Get a fixed quote
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.

Longcot questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Longcot?
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Longcot. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you get to a site in Longcot?
Yes, Longcot is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
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.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How easy every part is to reach
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The size of the system
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
For kitchen extract cleaning in Longcot, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.

Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
Ductwork and risers
Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. Access panels along the riser let us clean it in sections.
