Kitchen extract cleaning in Wootton, Oxfordshire
Specialist kitchen extract cleaning for Wootton: diagnosis first, then a fixed quote, the work and a report with photos. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Wootton.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- 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.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.

About our kitchen extract cleaning in Wootton
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Anything out of reach is noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted. The work covers canopies and hoods, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and an extract that no longer clears the smoke. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, in Wootton it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
Most kitchens in Wootton 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.
Somewhere as small as Wootton, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Between visits
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as pictures. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Different parts, different methods
Ductwork and risers
Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. Access panels along the riser let us clean it in sections.
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Wootton
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- The scale of the work
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- What state the system is in
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

- The site address and the type of premises
- Any previous report or certificate
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Wootton
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Wootton?
Wootton is in the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. 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.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Wootton?
The local authority for Wootton is Vale of White Horse council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
How long will the clean take?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. As a guide, it takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
What should I send you?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
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, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Why it’s worth doing now in Wootton
