Wroxton kitchen extract cleaning
Kitchen extract cleaning for Wroxton, with a survey first and a report with photos at the end. Call for a fixed quote.
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Poor airflow at the canopy
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. In a small place like Wroxton, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- 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.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Wroxton
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That layer will burn, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. The work covers canopies and hoods, discharge points and plenums and filters, and the jobs we see most are heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across Oxfordshire.
Most kitchens in Wroxton fall into one of BESA’s three bands: 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.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
Every clean ends with a photo report. It shows the system before and after, part by part, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving the clean until the next refit doesn’t make the grease go away. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, and that takes more work to shift. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Wroxton is calmer for everyone.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Wroxton
The FSA’s data shows about 3 pubs and bars registered across Wroxton and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Wroxton. 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 Cherwell council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Wroxton. 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Horton General Hospital (about 2.9 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Wroxton (Broughton Castle is about 2.3 miles south), fitting access panels needs care. For schools such as Wroxton Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Wroxton: your questions answered
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Wroxton during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Wroxton. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Wroxton?
The local authority for Wroxton is Cherwell council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Where there are not enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
It takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before we start.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- What state the system is in
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The scale of the work
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The postcode and the type of business
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Different parts, different methods
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
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.
