Kitchen extract cleaning in Shipton-under-Wychwood
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and each part collects grease. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. If you have missing paperwork after a change of operator and years of baked-on grease in the ducts, we can help. Kitchens in Shipton-under-Wychwood book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, so that’s where most of the work in Shipton-under-Wychwood goes.
Somewhere as small as Shipton-under-Wychwood, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
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.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Shipton-under-Wychwood?
The reason for all this is fire. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. That is why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Wychwood Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Shipton-under-Wychwood, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Advice
Questions from Shipton-under-Wychwood
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Shipton-under-Wychwood?
The local authority for Shipton-under-Wychwood is West Oxfordshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which fire authority looks after Shipton-under-Wychwood?
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Shipton-under-Wychwood. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Allow anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.

What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. Where they can be cleaned, they are, and the report notes anything that can’t.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service isn’t an option for most restaurants and pubs. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:

- The condition we find in the survey
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. A fault that closes a site in a village like Shipton-under-Wychwood affects everyone who depends on it.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.
