About our kitchen extract cleaning in Wigginton
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. For a kitchen in Wigginton, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. If you have extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and a kitchen taken over without any extract records, we can help, from discharge points, horizontal duct runs and extract fans onwards. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across Oxfordshire.
Most kitchens in Wigginton fall into one of BESA’s three bands: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
In a small place like Wigginton, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. The timing of a visit to Wigginton is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- 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.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

What a clean won’t put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
When to call us in Wigginton
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so those sections were never reached. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Broughton Castle is about 3.5 miles north-east), access may need planning.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What records you will receive afterwards
Managing agents and facilities teams in Wigginton
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
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.
Wigginton questions
Do you work in villages like Wigginton?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Wigginton is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Wigginton?
That is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
Cleans are timed to avoid service. Most kitchens book us overnight or at weekends, so you don’t lose a service.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.

Kitchen extract cleaning around Wigginton
In Wigginton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Cherwell council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Wigginton falls to Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. 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.

What happens if it’s left?
Grease that’s left only gets thicker. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Wigginton rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
