Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Poundon
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Anything out of reach is noted in the report and extra access panels can be added. We are often asked to deal with grease dripping from the canopy or filters and ductwork thick with old, hardened grease, across extract fans, vertical risers and discharge points. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Poundon, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
Somewhere as small as Poundon, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What we do, step by step
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 the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Somewhere like Poundon, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
Every clean ends with a photo report. It shows the system before and after, part by part, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
Part by part
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.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
Kitchen extracts in Poundon
Environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council inspect food businesses in Poundon. 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. About 51 miles out from central London, Poundon is part of the South East area we work across. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Bicester Community Hospital about 4.6 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
You will get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

What else we do in Poundon
Common questions in Poundon
Can you come to Poundon after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Poundon can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you work in villages like Poundon?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Poundon included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
We’re members of Vent Hygiene Elite, the scheme run by BESCA, and we clean to BESA TR19® Grease. We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we’re fully insured.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Typically, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we’ll survey first.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Allow 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 information do you need?
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.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A broken extract fan that will not run
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
When to call us in Poundon
A kitchen in Poundon builds up grease in the same places as any other: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
Claydon House, about 4.5 miles east, is one of the historic houses near Poundon; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
