TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Poffley End
Need kitchen extract cleaning in Poffley End? We survey first, give you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, finishing with a written report and photos.

- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
Common problems we fix in Poffley End
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so nobody could get to them. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Minster Lovell Hall is about 2.2 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether a survey comes first
Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Poffley End
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. Common call-outs are for a kitchen taken over without any extract records and grease drips onto cooking equipment, on canopies and hoods, extract fans and discharge points. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Poffley End, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
Work in a small place like Poffley End starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Poffley End
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The times the site is available
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The size of the system
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What a clean will not put right
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- A broken extract fan that will not run
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.

Part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
Ductwork and risers
Long flat runs of duct are where grease collects. Each run is cleaned through its access panels, recording any that cannot be reached.
Questions from Poffley End
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Poffley End out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 5 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Poffley End. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you cover smaller places like Poffley End?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Poffley End included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, so evenings, overnight, early mornings and weekends are all options. Equipment needs to be off and cool before work begins.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Poffley End kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 11 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Poffley End. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Poffley End is covered by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in Poffley End are the job of West Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Hailey Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Poffley End, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St John the Evangelist or elsewhere in Poffley End, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Leave it or put it right?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A certificate in the file answers that question. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Poffley End rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
