Questions from Stonor
Which fire service covers Stonor?
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Stonor. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Who inspects food businesses in Stonor?
The local authority for Stonor is Buckinghamshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Stonor?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before we start.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. We’ll recommend a date after measuring the grease.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Kitchen duct cleaning in Stonor
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. For a kitchen in Stonor, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. The work covers vertical risers, discharge points and plenums and filters, and people most often call us about missing paperwork after a change of operator and years of baked-on grease in the ducts. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Stonor, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Stonor: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Work in a small place like Stonor starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
Leave it or put it right?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A certificate in the file answers that question. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.

The process
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. The timing of a visit to Stonor is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear the space around the work
Get a fixed quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
You leave with a 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.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The size of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

When to call us in Stonor
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so nobody could get to them. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
Historic houses near Stonor, such as Stonor Park about 0.5 miles south-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
