About our kitchen extract cleaning in Shillingford
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Anything out of reach is noted in the report and extra access panels can be added. If you are dealing with poor airflow at the canopy and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, we can put it right. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Shillingford? We have been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
A clean in Shillingford covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Work in a small place like Shillingford starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Shillingford kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 hotels and B&Bs within about 1.5 miles of central Shillingford. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Kitchens in Shillingford get their food hygiene inspections from South Oxfordshire council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Shillingford. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Where a hall near Church of St Lawrence, or anywhere in Shillingford, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Brightwell Manor is about 1.8 miles south-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Shillingford questions
Which fire authority looks after Shillingford?
Fire safety enforcement in Shillingford is handled by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Shillingford?
Kitchens in Shillingford are inspected by South Oxfordshire council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
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 cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we typically come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
Any section without access is marked on the report. That is part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Shillingford
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any previous report or certificate
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Shillingford and turn up when the site is quiet.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system 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
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Related advice
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Shillingford?
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Laurence Church of England (A) School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Questions to ask before you book
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether a survey comes first
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
Why it’s worth doing now in Shillingford
Every week without a clean adds another layer. 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. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
