Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Tackley
Across Tackley, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. If you are dealing with a system with no record of a TR19 clean and fat running down the canopy edge, we can put it right. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Tackley, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Tackley: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
In a village or hamlet like Tackley, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the quote in Tackley
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How big the system is
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
You leave with a date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date is not missed.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Visits to a village like Tackley are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Advice
Grease, kitchens and Tackley
The fire and rescue service for Tackley is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in Tackley get their food hygiene inspections from West Oxfordshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Nicholas or anywhere around Tackley, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Blenheim Palace is about 3.8 miles south-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

When something else is needed
Kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Questions from Tackley
Will you come out to Tackley?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Tackley included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you work in Tackley outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Tackley keeps running as normal. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
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.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
It takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, which grease thickness testing will show.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where necessary.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Tackley
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
When to call us in Tackley
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
If you cook for passing trade around Tackley station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.
