TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Risinghurst
Kitchen extract cleaning for Risinghurst and the surrounding area: a survey, a fixed price, careful work and proper paperwork. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. In a smaller place like Risinghurst, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Risinghurst
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you’re dealing with grease smells coming from the extract and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, we can put it right, from vertical risers, discharge points and canopies and hoods onwards. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, in Risinghurst it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Risinghurst gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What else we do in Risinghurst
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- Any permits to work or inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Travel, parking and unloading
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
FAQs for Risinghurst
Do you work in villages like Risinghurst?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Risinghurst is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Risinghurst?
Kitchens in Risinghurst are inspected by Oxford City council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® itself is not law. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.
Kitchen extracts in Risinghurst
There are about 46 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 10 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Risinghurst, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Kitchens in Risinghurst get their food hygiene inspections from Oxford City council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in Risinghurst falls to Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Holywell Manor, about 2.5 miles west, is one of the historic houses near Risinghurst; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Risinghurst, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Risinghurst
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Bayards Hill School or anywhere near Risinghurst, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we will tell you before any work starts. It does not solve:
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A broken extract fan that won’t run

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something 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 send you a fixed quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
