Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Pusey
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: 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. The work covers discharge points, horizontal duct runs and extract fans, and people most often call us about an extract that no longer clears the smoke and years of baked-on grease in the ducts. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in Pusey covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Pusey: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Work in a small place like Pusey starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Duct Doctor has 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.

What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Pusey before we set off.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Advice
Why deal with it now?
TR19® is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Why us?
- Fully insured
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- A written report with pictures after every visit
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Pusey kitchens: local notes
Environmental health officers from Vale of White Horse council inspect food businesses in Pusey. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Pusey 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.
School kitchens, at schools like Buckland Church of England Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hospital like Longworth Hospital, about 4.3 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Longworth House, about 2.4 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Pusey; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Pusey is about 6 miles north-west of Wantage, in Oxfordshire. Anywhere in SN7, we can take on kitchen extract cleaning. Pusey is one of 443 towns, villages and districts in Oxfordshire where we work for commercial clients. You can also see our page for Oxford, roughly 12 miles from Pusey.

Local landmarks in Pusey
Well-known places in the area include Hinton Waldrist Castle (1.9 miles north-east) and Longworth Hospital (4.3 miles west).
Honest limits
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How easy every part is to reach
- The times the site is available
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- A few general shots of the system
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Pusey questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Pusey?
That is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you come to Pusey after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Pusey needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after photos, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
How do you 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.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Typically, yes. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we usually come back within one working day. If pictures aren’t enough, we will survey first.
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. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
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.
