Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Stratton Audley
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That film is fuel, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. If you have proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history, we can put it right. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Stratton Audley? We’ve been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, with grease readings setting the real interval.
Work in a small place like Stratton Audley starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Grease, kitchens and Stratton Audley
There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Stratton Audley, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Stratton Audley sits within the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In Stratton Audley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Cherwell council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Bicester Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Stratton Audley, about 3 miles south-west. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Cooper School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Where a hall near Church of St Mary and St Edburga, or anywhere in Stratton Audley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Common questions in Stratton Audley
Is Stratton Audley within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Stratton Audley included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Stratton Audley?
Kitchens in Stratton Audley are inspected by Cherwell council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, where the photos show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. We need the equipment cool, and we leave the kitchen ready to cook.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
What a clean won’t put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- A grease trap that needs emptying
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Canopies and hoods
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
What happens if it’s left?
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the fan strains to keep up. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. It’s simpler to plan the work at Stratton Audley now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Stratton Audley
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How big the system is
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How many systems or sites are involved
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Keep the baffle filters clean
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
What the work involves, part by part
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that do not.
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
