How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Netherton
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. If you have proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19, we can help. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Netherton, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
Most kitchens in Netherton fall into one of BESA’s three bands: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
For a kitchen in or near Netherton, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

When to call us in Netherton
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Nicholas or anywhere around Netherton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Netherton and across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Grease, kitchens and Netherton
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Netherton. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. The fire and rescue service for Netherton is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Kitchens in Netherton get their food hygiene inspections from Vale of White Horse council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Netherton (Appleton Manor is about 2 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Abingdon Community Hospital about 4.2 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Netherton
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Netherton?
In Netherton, it’s Vale of White Horse council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Netherton?
That is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do you work in Netherton?
Yes. Our technicians work in Netherton, within the South East and London area we cover.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
How it works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Netherton and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Move anything stored near the system

Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
What happens if it’s left?
A clogged extract does not only raise the fire risk. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky, while the fan works harder to move less air. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. A fault that closes a site in a village like Netherton affects everyone who depends on it.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
