Kitchen extract cleaning in Northmoor, done properly
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you’re dealing with proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and years of baked-on grease in the ducts, we can help, from canopies and hoods, plenums and filters and discharge points onwards. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Northmoor? We’ve been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
In a village or hamlet like Northmoor, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Kitchen extract cleaning around Northmoor
The FSA’s data shows about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Northmoor. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. In Northmoor, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Northmoor is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
A hospital like Abingdon Community Hospital, about 5.4 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Denys, or anywhere in Northmoor, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Northmoor questions
Do you work in villages like Northmoor?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Northmoor is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which environmental health team covers Northmoor?
In Northmoor, it’s West Oxfordshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. 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. We will recommend a date after measuring the grease.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19 is not written into law, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Northmoor?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will typically reply within one working day.
How long will the clean take?
It takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Northmoor.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send 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.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Common problems we fix in Northmoor
In Northmoor, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Northmoor (Appleton Manor is about 1.7 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.
Before booking anyone
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Whether it’s one hood or a long island canopy, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
Any section without access is marked on the report. That’s part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Northmoor
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
