Oxfordshire · Kitchen extract cleaning
TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Northway
We cover Northway for kitchen extract cleaning. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with photos on every job.
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
Why it’s worth doing now in Northway
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, which is slower to clean. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. A planned visit to Northway fits your hours; an emergency doesn’t.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Why us?
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Trading since 2009

TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Northway
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. We work evenings, overnight and at 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. We’re often asked to deal with an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and a kitchen taken over without any extract records, across plenums and filters, extract fans and canopies and hoods. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in Northway it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Northway gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, 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.
What a clean won’t put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning will not do:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Northway questions
Which fire service covers Northway?
It’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Northway. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Which environmental health team covers Northway?
In Northway, it’s Oxford City council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
When do you clean the extract?
We work around your hours. Overnight, weekend and between-service cleans are all possible and the kitchen is ready to cook when we leave.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we usually come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
How the visit works
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. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. In a place like Northway, we fit the visit around your hours.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Northway
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 27 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 5 hotels and guest houses across Northway and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. The fire and rescue service for Northway is 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. It’s Oxford City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Northway. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Historic houses near Northway, such as Holywell Manor about 1.5 miles south-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Anthony of Padua or elsewhere in Northway, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Northway is about 1 mile north of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. Sites in Northway get the same service as everywhere we cover: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with photos. Northway is one of 443 towns, villages and districts in Oxfordshire we cover for kitchen extract cleaning.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Northway?
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
What we are most often called out for:
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Northway is Churchill Hospital, about 0.5 miles south.

Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight, so residents and patients are not disturbed.
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.
