Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Sutton Wick
Any kitchen we clean in Sutton Wick gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. Typical jobs include grease dripping from the canopy or filters and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer, on extract fans, plenums and filters and discharge points. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Sutton Wick, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Sutton Wick: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Sutton Wick. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. It’s Vale of White Horse council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Sutton Wick. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Sutton Wick sits within the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Drayton Community Primary School or anywhere near Sutton Wick, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Abingdon Community Hospital about 1.4 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Sutton Wick
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The size of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- A few general shots of the system
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

Part by part
Canopy and plenum
Behind the grease filters sits the plenum, which daily cleaning never reaches. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.
Ductwork and risers
Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. Access panels along the riser let us clean it in sections.
When to call us in Sutton Wick
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. 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. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Poor airflow at the canopy
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Clifton Hampden Manor is about 4.2 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Before booking anyone

Why it’s worth doing now in Sutton Wick
A clogged extract does not only raise the fire risk. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky, while the fan works harder to move less air. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. A fault that closes a site in a village like Sutton Wick affects everyone who depends on it.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Sutton Wick questions
Can the work in Sutton Wick be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Sutton Wick does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Sutton Wick?
Fire safety enforcement in Sutton Wick is handled by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
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’ll advise on what to do next.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
Our work is to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, and certificates go through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. We’ve been trading since 2009.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

How it works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Sutton Wick before we set off.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Quotes are quick. 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.
