Kitchen extract cleaning in Middleton Stoney, done properly
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Anything out of reach is noted in the report and extra access panels can be added. If you have poor airflow at the canopy and years of baked-on grease in the ducts, we can put it right. Kitchens in Middleton Stoney book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
In a village or hamlet like Middleton Stoney, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
You leave with a date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date isn’t missed.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight with as little disruption as possible.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, so grease readings help set the right interval.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Middleton Stoney: your questions answered
Will you come out to Middleton Stoney?
Yes, Middleton Stoney is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Middleton Stoney?
Middleton Stoney is in the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
Cleans are timed to avoid service. Overnight, weekend and between-service cleans are all possible, so you don’t lose a service.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we usually come back within one working day. If photos are not enough, we will survey first.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Middleton Stoney
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and it doesn’t stop until it reaches the fan.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Bicester Community Hospital about 3 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
