Kitchen extract cleaning across OX7: what to expect
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. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Common call-outs are for an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and grease smells coming from the extract, across canopies and hoods, extract fans and horizontal duct runs.
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.

Kitchen extract cleaning around OX7
Our kitchen extract cleaning work across OX7 takes in places such as Chipping Norton, Charlbury and Shipton-under-Wychwood and the villages in between. Every place on our OX7 list (34 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 OX7, the work is done to the same TR19® standard.
Chipping Norton: If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Chipping Norton School or anywhere near Chipping Norton, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Chastleton House is about 4.2 miles west), access may need planning.
Leave it or put it right?
An overdue clean in OX7 is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. The job takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you don’t lose a service. Waiting only adds grease and risk.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- What paperwork you get at the end
- When the next visit should be, and why
What affects the quote in OX7
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- How big the system is
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Between visits
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Keep grease collection points emptied
You leave with a date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date isn’t missed.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
Common problems we fix in OX7
A kitchen in OX7 builds up grease in the same places as any other: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
Common questions in OX7
Is a quote from photos possible?
Often, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. 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.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before any work starts.
Is OX7 in your area?
Yes. OX7 is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
