Kitchen extract cleaning in Sarsden, done properly
Across Sarsden, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. Typical jobs include a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history, on extract fans, discharge points and vertical risers. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Sarsden, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, with grease readings setting the real interval.
For a kitchen in or near Sarsden, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Sarsden and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Advice
Managing agents and facilities teams in Sarsden
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
When to call us in Sarsden
A kitchen in Sarsden builds up grease in the same places as any other: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Chastleton House is about 4.3 miles north-west), access may need planning.

Why deal with it now?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, and that takes more work to shift. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. It’s simpler to plan the work at Sarsden now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Sarsden: your questions answered
Can you work in Sarsden outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Sarsden keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Sarsden?
In Sarsden, it’s West Oxfordshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. 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.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we normally come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on in Sarsden
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
Every clean ends with a photo report. Before and after pictures show each part of the system, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
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.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Sarsden: the local picture
In Sarsden, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Sarsden is covered by 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.
For schools such as Chipping Norton School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St James or elsewhere in Sarsden, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
