Grease, kitchens and Radley
Food Standards Agency records list about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 6 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Radley. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Fire safety in Radley falls to 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. Environmental health officers from Vale of White Horse council inspect food businesses in Radley. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
For kitchens close to Radley station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St James, or anywhere in Radley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Radley
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That film is fuel, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. If you have an extract that no longer clears the smoke and fat running down the canopy edge, we can put it right, from horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and canopies and hoods onwards.

BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
For a kitchen in or near Radley, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

How the visit works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. For a village or hamlet like Radley, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.

FAQs for Radley
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Radley?
Fire safety enforcement in Radley is handled by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can the work in Radley be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Radley can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
No law names TR19 directly, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where necessary.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How big the system is
- How easy every part is to reach
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any previous report or certificate
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- An undersized canopy or fan
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
- Vertical risers
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date isn’t missed.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Radley
In Radley, 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.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Littlemore Hospital about 2.3 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and put back so they seat correctly. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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.
