What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens often cook for long hours, frying and grilling, which can put them in BESA’s 3 or 6-monthly bands. Cleans are done after close, overnight or before opening.
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.
How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Shutford
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Send a few pictures of the canopy and filters when you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and you will have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Shutford, typically within one working day. The work covers vertical risers, discharge points and plenums and filters, and people most often call us about a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and missing paperwork after a change of operator. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across Oxfordshire.
A clean in Shutford covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Somewhere as small as Shutford, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, 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.

Shutford: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Shutford?
Yes. Shutford is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Shutford?
The local authority for Shutford is Cherwell council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
The clean is done when the kitchen is not cooking, working evenings, overnight or at weekends to suit you. Equipment needs to be off and cool before work begins.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
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 happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we will normally reply within one working day.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. As a guide, it takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system.
What happens if it’s left?
An overdue clean in Shutford is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. It takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you do not lose a service. Every extra month adds grease. A planned visit to Shutford is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Shutford
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Shutford and across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
What we are called out for in Shutford
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so those sections were never reached. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Grease smells coming from the extract
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Horton General Hospital is the nearest hospital to Shutford, about 4.3 miles east.
What your quote should include
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether a written report and photos are included
Kitchen extracts in Shutford
The fire and rescue service for Shutford is 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. In Shutford, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Cherwell council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Shutford (Broughton Castle is about 2.4 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Martin or anywhere around Shutford, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- How easy every part is to reach
- The scale of the work
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Shutford, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us where we can park and unload
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t 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 call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
