Our kitchen extract cleaning service in OX49
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Typical jobs include grease smells coming from the extract and years of baked-on grease in the ducts, on vertical risers, discharge points and extract fans.
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Pricing in OX49
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Kitchen extract cleaning around OX49
In OX49, we work in places such as Watlington, Aston Rowant and Lewknor and well beyond. Every place on our OX49 list (9 in all) is covered, with cleans booked around trading hours.
London and the South East cover everything from city basements to rural kitchens. Wherever the site is in OX49, the work is done to the same TR19® standard.
Watlington: For schools such as Watlington Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Adwell House is about 3.2 miles north), access may need planning.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
Any section without access is marked on the report. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
Why it fails
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The size of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition of the system
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced 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 go through it with you.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
Managing agents and facilities teams in OX49
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
OX49 questions
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Is a quote from photos possible?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Do you work in OX49?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes OX49.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Where there aren’t enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
