Our kitchen extract cleaning service in OX27
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. We are often asked to deal with heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and poor airflow at the canopy, on horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and plenums and filters.
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- 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.

Where we work in OX27
From Bicester, Bure Park and Caversfield to its smaller places, OX27 has kitchens of every size. Every one gets the same full TR19® clean, from the canopy to the discharge.
We work across London and the South East, and OX27 is part of that area. Every job is surveyed first and quoted at a fixed price, wherever it is in OX27.
Caversfield: If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Bicester Community Hospital about 1.8 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Lawrence or elsewhere in Caversfield, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Whether it’s one hood or a long island canopy, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The times the site is available
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
- Travel, parking and unloading
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
If you need kitchen extract cleaning in OX27, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, and equipment can be switched back on once we have gone.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Staff cleaning does not 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.
What we’re called out for in OX27
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
Questions from OX27
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. As a guide, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after photos, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
