Kitchen duct cleaning in Sibford Gower
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you’re dealing with a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and grease drips onto cooking equipment, we can help, from canopies and hoods, vertical risers and plenums and filters onwards. Kitchens in Sibford Gower 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, which is why a TR19® clean in Sibford Gower goes well beyond the canopy.
Somewhere as small as Sibford Gower, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Sibford Gower: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Sibford Gower?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Sibford Gower does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Which fire authority looks after Sibford Gower?
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Sibford Gower. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where needed.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19 isn’t written into law, 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 affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The scale of the work
- A single visit or a regular plan
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Keep the baffle filters clean
Any section without access is marked on the report. That’s part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
Leave it or put it right?
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. In a place like Sibford Gower, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Sibford Gower: the local picture
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Sibford Gower. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Food hygiene inspections in Sibford Gower are the job of Cherwell council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Broughton Castle is about 4 miles east), access may need planning. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of Holy Trinity or anywhere around Sibford Gower, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What we do, step by step
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Sibford Gower knowing what to expect.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

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 we can price many jobs without a visit.
Related advice
What we are called out for in Sibford Gower
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so nobody could get to them. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
For schools such as Sibford Gower Endowed Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
