Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Roke
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The size of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Roke
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Any section we cannot reach is recorded on the report and extra access panels can be added. If you have grease dripping from the canopy or filters and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, we can help. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Roke? We’ve been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
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 readings afterwards go into your report.
In a village or hamlet like Roke, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Keep grease collection points emptied
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Somewhere like Roke, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before work begins.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Grease, kitchens and Roke
We cover Roke, about 44 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Roke is covered by 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.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Brightwell Manor is about 3.4 miles south-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Helen or elsewhere in Roke, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Benson Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Roke is about 7 miles east of Didcot, in Oxfordshire. Anywhere in OX10, we can take on kitchen extract cleaning. Our Oxfordshire coverage runs to 443 places, and Roke is one of them. Oxford is in our area too, around 10 miles away.
We cover every part of OX10 for kitchen extract cleaning and the streets around it. If your site is just outside Roke, we cover Ewelme (2 miles south-east), Brightwell Baldwin (2 miles north-east), Chalgrove (2 miles north), Britwell Salome (3 miles east) and Watlington (4 miles east). Larger places within reach include Oxford (10 miles north-west), Didcot (7 miles west), Abingdon-on-Thames (8 miles west), Thame (9 miles north-east), Wantage (14 miles west) and Henley-on-Thames (11 miles south-east).
What’s near Roke
In Roke, that means kitchens and buildings near Home Sweet Home pub and Wallingford School and the streets around them. Well-known places in the area include Aston Martin Heritage Trust Museum (2.4 miles north-west) and Wallingford Castle (2.5 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Wittenham Clumps and Ewelme Watercress Beds.

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
A pub or restaurant can’t afford to cancel a service for a clean. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Why deal with it now?
Grease that’s left only gets thicker. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. Somewhere as small as Roke, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Roke
Can you come to Roke after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Roke keeps running as normal. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Roke?
It’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Roke. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
The whole system: the canopy, the plenum behind the filters, the filters, horizontal ducts, vertical risers, the fan and the discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
No law names TR19 directly, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. We’ll recommend a date after measuring the grease.
