How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Murcott
Any kitchen we clean in Murcott 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. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. The work covers extract fans, canopies and hoods and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and fat running down the canopy edge. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Murcott start: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
Somewhere as small as Murcott, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How it works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. For a village or hamlet like Murcott, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.

Advice
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How big the system is
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The times the site is available
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The postcode and the type of business
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Honest limits
Kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. We clean both inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, and grease can collect there too. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date is not missed.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.

Common problems we fix in Murcott
A kitchen in Murcott builds up grease in the same places as any other: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Murcott (Boarstall Tower is about 2.7 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.
