TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Shepherd's Green
We’ve been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re often asked to deal with grease drips onto cooking equipment and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, on discharge points, plenums and filters and vertical risers. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, in Shepherd's Green it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: 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.
Work in a small place like Shepherd's Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Different parts, different methods
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
Why it’s worth doing now in Shepherd's Green
A clogged extract doesn’t only raise the fire risk. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky, while the fan works harder to move less air. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Shepherd's Green
At about 38 miles from central London, Shepherd's Green sits well inside the area we cover. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Kitchens in Shepherd's Green get their food hygiene inspections from South Oxfordshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Historic houses near Shepherd's Green, such as Greys Court about 0.7 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Where a hall near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Shepherd's Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Battle Hospital (about 6 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Shepherd's Green
Can you come to Shepherd's Green after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Shepherd's Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which fire authority looks after Shepherd's Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Shepherd's Green is handled by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Allow a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. Without proof, a claim can be refused or reduced, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
What affects the quote in Shepherd's Green
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How many systems or sites are involved
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Helping us quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The postcode and the type of business
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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.
