About kitchen extract cleaning in OX13
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Send a few photos of the canopy and filters when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and you’ll have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in OX13, normally within one working day. The work covers canopies and hoods, horizontal duct runs and plenums and filters, and the jobs we see most are an extract that no longer clears the smoke and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer.
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
How we quote
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.

Kitchen extract cleaning across OX13: local notes
Our kitchen extract cleaning work across OX13 takes in places such as Caldecott, Kingston Bagpuize and Marcham and the villages in between. Every place on our OX13 list (18 in all) is covered, with cleans booked around trading hours.
We work across London and the South East, and OX13 is part of that area. Every job is surveyed first and quoted at a fixed price, wherever it is in OX13.
Kingston Bagpuize: School kitchens, at schools like John Blandy Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Longworth House is about 1.4 miles north-west), access may need planning.
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
What affects the quote in OX13
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The number of sites or systems
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
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.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
Why deal with it now?
Leaving the clean until the next refit does not 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. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable.
What your quote should include
- What hours they’ll be on site
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the price is fixed
FAQs for OX13
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. TR19 is the industry benchmark for meeting that duty in a kitchen extract, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
