Kitchen extract cleaning in West Hanney, done properly
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. If you have a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs, we can put it right, from horizontal duct runs, canopies and hoods and vertical risers onwards. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across Oxfordshire.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, which is why a TR19® clean in West Hanney goes well beyond the canopy.
In a small place like West Hanney, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, 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.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Common questions in West Hanney
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for West Hanney?
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for West Hanney. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you work at weekends in West Hanney?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in West Hanney needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Different parts, different methods
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, and grease can collect there too. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Somewhere as small as West Hanney, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- 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, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Related advice
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in West Hanney
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.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
A hospital like Abingdon Community Hospital, about 5.4 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
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.
