How kitchen extract cleaning works in OX39
Across OX39, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. We are often asked to deal with grease drips onto cooking equipment and ductwork thick with old, hardened grease, across plenums and filters, horizontal duct runs and canopies and hoods.
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
What affects the price in OX39
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Kitchen extracts across OX39
From Chinnor, Oakley and Kingston Blount to its smaller places, OX39 has kitchens of every size. Each extract is cleaned to the same TR19® standard, canopy to discharge.
Much of our work across London and the South East happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so sites in OX39 can keep trading.
Chinnor: A hospital like Thame Community Hospital, about 4 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Adwell House is about 3.6 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
What staff can safely do
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.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Common problems we fix in OX39
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. For a kitchen in OX39, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
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’ve gone.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
Leave it or put it right?
A clogged extract doesn’t only raise the fire risk. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky, while the fan works harder to move less air. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next.
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What hours they’ll be on site
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.

Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.

We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we are fully insured.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.

Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after pictures, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
