How it works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. The timing of a visit to Weston-on-the-Green is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before work begins.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Advice
Kitchen extract cleaning in Weston-on-the-Green, done properly
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Weston-on-the-Green give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. We are often asked to deal with grease dripping from the canopy or filters and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer, across vertical risers, extract fans and discharge points. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Weston-on-the-Green? We’ve been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
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, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
Somewhere as small as Weston-on-the-Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Weston-on-the-Green questions
Which fire authority looks after Weston-on-the-Green?
It’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Weston-on-the-Green. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Who inspects food businesses in Weston-on-the-Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Weston-on-the-Green are carried out by Cherwell council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
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.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
BESA guidance gives minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months, depending on daily cooking hours. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, which grease thickness testing will show.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as photos. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
What happens if it’s left?
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A certificate in the file answers that question. A planned visit to Weston-on-the-Green is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.

Kitchen extract cleaning around Weston-on-the-Green
Food Standards Agency records list about 6 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Weston-on-the-Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Kitchens in Weston-on-the-Green get their food hygiene inspections from Cherwell council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Weston-on-the-Green. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Weston-on-the-Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t 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.
What we are called out for in Weston-on-the-Green
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and from there it travels on to the fan.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Fat running down the canopy edge
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Weston-on-the-Green is Bicester Community Hospital, about 3.7 miles north-east.
What your quote should include
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Proof of insurance

What else we do in Weston-on-the-Green
What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
Ductwork and risers
Long flat runs of duct are where grease collects. Each run is cleaned through its access panels, recording any that cannot be reached.
