About our kitchen extract cleaning in Stanton Harcourt
A closed kitchen isn’t earning, so the timing of a clean matters. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. Common call-outs are for stale cooking odours from the system and missing paperwork after a change of operator, across extract fans, plenums and filters and discharge points. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across Oxfordshire.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, so that is where most of the work in Stanton Harcourt goes.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
You will get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition we find in the survey
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How easy every part is to reach
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The site address and the type of premises

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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 are happy to quote for all of it.
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Stanton Harcourt
Who inspects food businesses in Stanton Harcourt?
That’s West Oxfordshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Stanton Harcourt. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you work at weekends in Stanton Harcourt?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Stanton Harcourt can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. TR19 is the industry benchmark for meeting that duty in a kitchen extract, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Short systems are done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. We’ll tell you how long when we quote.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.

Leave it or put it right?
TR19® isn’t law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Stanton Harcourt rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
What you pay 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 any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Common problems we fix in Stanton Harcourt
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Michael or anywhere around Stanton Harcourt, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What happens on the day
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Stanton Harcourt can be planned properly.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Advice
When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
Different parts, different methods
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
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.
