About our kitchen extract cleaning in Minster Lovell
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Send a few pictures of the canopy and filters when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and you will have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Minster Lovell, usually within one working day. If you’re dealing with grease dripping from the canopy or filters and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit, we can help. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Minster Lovell covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, so that’s where most of the work in Minster Lovell goes.
For a kitchen in or near Minster Lovell, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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.
What a clean won’t put right
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Kitchen extracts in Minster Lovell
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Minster Lovell. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. In Minster Lovell, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Minster Lovell is covered by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Minster Lovell (Minster Lovell Hall is about 0.8 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Minster Lovell
Can you come to Minster Lovell after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Minster Lovell keeps running as normal. When you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Which environmental health team covers Minster Lovell?
Kitchens in Minster Lovell 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.
Can you quote from pictures?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after photos, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, and equipment can be switched back on once we have gone.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
Why deal with it now?
Every week without a clean adds another layer. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean straight away. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. With notice, the visit to Minster Lovell can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

The process
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 a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Minster Lovell run smoothly.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before we start.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Advice
What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
A pub or restaurant cannot afford to cancel a service for a clean. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
