Kitchen duct cleaning in Stoke Row
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. We’re often asked to deal with years of baked-on grease in the ducts and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, across plenums and filters, horizontal duct runs and discharge points. Kitchens in Stoke Row 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.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
Somewhere as small as Stoke Row, 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
Kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It won’t put right:
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Discharge points

The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. For a village or hamlet like Stoke Row, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- 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.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear the space around the work
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Why it’s worth doing now in Stoke Row
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky and the fan strains to keep up. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and pub kitchens
A pub or restaurant cannot afford to cancel a service for a clean. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that don’t.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Stoke Row
Kitchens in Stoke Row get their food hygiene inspections from South Oxfordshire council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in Stoke Row falls to Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St John the Evangelist or anywhere around Stoke Row, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Stoke Row Church of England School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Stoke Row (Greys Court is about 2.7 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.

Common questions in Stoke Row
Which fire authority looks after Stoke Row?
Fire safety enforcement in Stoke Row is handled by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Stoke Row?
Food hygiene inspections in Stoke Row are carried out by South Oxfordshire council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
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.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date isn’t missed.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
