Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Worton
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract systems since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. We are often asked to deal with a kitchen taken over without any extract records and a system with no record of a TR19 clean, across discharge points, canopies and hoods and horizontal duct runs. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Worton, you get one team and one number for every site.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Questions from Worton
Which council inspects kitchens in Worton?
Food hygiene inspections in Worton are carried out by West Oxfordshire council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Worton?
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Worton. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Do you cover Worton?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Worton.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
What we’re called out for in Worton
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. For a kitchen in Worton, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter or anywhere around Worton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Other services in Worton
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens often cook for long hours, frying and grilling, which can put them in BESA’s 3 or 6-monthly bands. We clean after close or before opening.
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
What we do, step by step
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 one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Worton, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Worton
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Any permits to work or inductions
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Worton kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 4 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Worton. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. The fire and rescue service for Worton is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. It’s West Oxfordshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Worton. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Blenheim Palace is about 3 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. For schools such as St Peter's Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Around Worton
In Worton, that means kitchens and buildings near Red Lion pub and Bartholomew School and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Hanborough station, about 2.3 miles north-west of the centre. Nearby you will also find Oxford Bus Museum (2.3 miles north-west) and Oxford Castle (4.6 miles south-east). The countryside around Worton includes Hook Meadow and The Trap Grounds and Cumnor Hill.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
The report gives a recommended 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 isn’t missed.
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.
