Kitchen extract cleaning in Nether Worton
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Typical jobs include grease drips onto cooking equipment and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, across vertical risers, plenums and filters and extract fans. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Nether Worton usually mean the kitchen extract, and that’s our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
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 Nether Worton goes well beyond the canopy.
Work in a small place like Nether Worton starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

When something else is needed
Kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It does not solve:
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Extract fans
- Discharge points

Leave it or put it right?
If your kitchen in Nether Worton is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. The job takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you don’t lose a service. Waiting only adds grease and risk. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Questions from Nether Worton
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Nether Worton?
Food hygiene inspections in Nether Worton are carried out by West Oxfordshire council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Is Nether Worton within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Nether Worton included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
Under BESA guidance, the minimum depends on how long you cook each day: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Measured grease levels set the real interval.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
The whole system: the canopy, the plenum behind the filters, the filters, horizontal ducts, vertical risers, the fan and the discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we can’t reach is recorded on the report.
Kitchen extract cleaning around Nether Worton
Kitchens in Nether Worton get their food hygiene inspections from West Oxfordshire council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in Nether Worton falls to Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. 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.
Where a hall near Church of the Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Nether Worton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Nether Worton
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
Whether the kitchen is in Nether Worton itself or nearby, a TR19® clean covers the whole system, canopy to discharge.
Before you book anyone
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Somewhere like Nether Worton, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- 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.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, so you can start cooking as normal.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. 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
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. We clean after close or before opening.
