Kitchen extract cleaning in OX26: how it works
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That film is fuel, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. Common call-outs are for a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and fat running down the canopy edge, across canopies and hoods, plenums and filters and extract fans.
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
- 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.
- 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.

Kitchen extracts across OX26
Across OX26, from Bicester, Bure Park and Launton outwards, kitchens range from town-centre restaurants and takeaways to pubs, hotels, schools and care homes. Each extract is cleaned to the same TR19® standard, canopy to discharge.
London and the South East cover everything from city basements to rural kitchens. The same TR19® standard applies to all of them, in OX26 and beyond.
Bicester: Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Edburg or anywhere around Bicester, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you cook for passing trade around Bicester North station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.
Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight, so residents and patients are not disturbed.
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
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’re happy to quote for all of it.
What we are called out for in OX26
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and from there it travels on to the fan.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in OX26
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- What state the system is in
- How big the system is
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
FAQs for OX26
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Allow a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
Do you cover OX26?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes OX26.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
