About our kitchen extract cleaning in Marcham
Across Marcham, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. The work covers extract fans, vertical risers and plenums and filters, and people most often call us about a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and grease smells coming from the extract. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Marcham start: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
A clean in Marcham covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
Around a smaller place like Marcham, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Kitchen extract cleaning around Marcham
About 55 miles out from central London, Marcham is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Kitchens in Marcham 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. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Abingdon Preparatory 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 Abingdon Community Hospital about 1.7 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Marcham is about 3 miles west of Abingdon-on-Thames, in Oxfordshire. Every kind of commercial site in Marcham, kitchen extract cleaning is something we can help with.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Marcham
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The size of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
- What state the system is in
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any previous report or certificate
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
When to call us in Marcham
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Marcham, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- If they look at the system before pricing
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods

- Horizontal duct runs
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Tell us when your site near Marcham is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Related advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Common questions in Marcham

Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Marcham is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Marcham?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll usually reply within one working day.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What information do you need?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.

Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, giving you before and after readings alongside the pictures. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, which slows build-up further down the system.
