How kitchen extract cleaning works in OX9
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. The certificate and photo report from each clean in OX9 give you that record for the maintenance log. The work covers canopies and hoods, discharge points and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are grease smells coming from the extract and a kitchen taken over without any extract records.
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time, and the area is cleaned down before we leave.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before work begins.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- 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.
What affects the price in OX9
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Around Thame
Around Thame, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Barley Hill Primary School, Church of St Mary and Cross Keys Public House and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, about 2.1 miles north-east. Nearby you’ll also find Thame Museum (0.5 miles north-west) and Thame Community Hospital (less than half a mile south-east). Not far away are Snakemoor.
Kitchen extracts across OX9
In OX9, we work in places such as Thame, Tetsworth and Postcombe and well beyond. Every place on our OX9 list (11 in all) is covered, with cleans booked around trading hours.
Much of our work across London and the South East happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so sites in OX9 can keep trading.
Thame: Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Thame is Thame Community Hospital, about under half a mile south-east. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Barley Hill Primary School or anywhere near Thame, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A broken extract fan that will not run
Why it fails
The reason for all this is fire. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. For a kitchen in OX9, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The size of the system
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
OX9 questions
What accreditations do you hold?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
Is OX9 in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes OX9.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
