How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Moulsford
Any kitchen we clean in Moulsford gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. Typical jobs include grease smells coming from the extract and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, on discharge points, vertical risers and canopies and hoods. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Moulsford, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, which is why a TR19® clean in Moulsford goes well beyond the canopy.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

What happens if it’s left?
Any food business in Moulsford can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Keep grease collection points emptied
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as pictures. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
The process
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. For a village or hamlet like Moulsford, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before work begins.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area 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.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Moulsford kitchens: local notes
Food hygiene inspections in Moulsford are the job of South Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Moulsford is about 46 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Basildon Park, about 3.9 miles south, is one of the historic houses near Moulsford; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St John the Baptist, or anywhere in Moulsford, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Moulsford
In Moulsford, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Cranford House School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Moulsford: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Moulsford?
Yes. Moulsford is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can the work in Moulsford be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Moulsford needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. 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.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, where the photos show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- What state the system is in
- How easy every part is to reach
- How big the system is
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Need a price for kitchen extract cleaning? Please ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with a few details about the site. We will explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- A fan motor that has burnt out
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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, and that is where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
