Questions from Middle Aston
Can the work in Middle Aston be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Middle Aston keeps running as normal. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you cover smaller places like Middle Aston?
Yes, Middle Aston is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
What do I get after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after photos, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19 is not written into law, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Middle Aston
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. Common call-outs are for cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs, across horizontal duct runs, plenums and filters and canopies and hoods. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in Middle Aston it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
For a kitchen in or near Middle Aston, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Middle Aston: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Middle Aston. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. In Middle Aston, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Cherwell council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Middle Aston. 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.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Middle Aston, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Why it’s worth doing now in Middle Aston
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. In a place like Middle Aston, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

When to call us in Middle Aston
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. 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.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Dr Radcliffe's Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
What your quote should include
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether VAT is included
- When the next visit should be, and why
Different parts, different methods
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. Each run is cleaned through its access panels, recording any that cannot be reached.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The scale of the work
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The number of sites or systems
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

What else we do in Middle Aston
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. For a village or hamlet like Middle Aston, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
