In buildings with several floors, the riser may pass through other tenants’ space, so we arrange access ahead of time.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge at the end of the system is checked as well, as grease can build up there too.
About our TR19 inspection in Dane Hill
Many insurers ask for proof that kitchen extract systems are cleaned and inspected to TR19®. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. Our TR19 audits give sites in Dane Hill and across Oxfordshire a clear record of the system’s condition. If you’re dealing with heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts and insurers asking for TR19 evidence, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Dane Hill starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the cost of TR19 inspection
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
- Book the next test on the date in the report
- Flag oily drips near the extract
- Keep access panels clear and unpainted
You get a report with the grease readings, where they were taken and pictures of each point. File it alongside your TR19 certificates.
Fit access panels where the survey finds sections cannot be reached, so every part of the duct can be cleaned.
Dane Hill kitchens: local notes
Look up Dane Hill on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Dane Hill and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Kitchens in Dane Hill get their food hygiene inspections from Cherwell council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Dane Hill is covered by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Dane Hill, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Dane Hill and across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems, and we clear up before we go. Somewhere like Dane Hill, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Getting a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Questions from Dane Hill
Which council inspects kitchens in Dane Hill?
Food hygiene inspections in Dane Hill are carried out by Cherwell council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Dane Hill during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Dane Hill, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will fit the work in.
How do you measure grease in a kitchen extract?
We measure the grease at set points with a WFTT or DTT test, and set against the TR19® Grease figures.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
Can the work be done while we’re closed?
Yes, and it’s often the best time. We book the visit for when the area is out of use, such as late evening, overnight or a weekend.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do we have to follow TR19 by law?
No. It’s the benchmark rather than the law. Without TR19 records, an insurance claim can be reduced or refused, so it matters in practice.
Common problems we fix in Dane Hill
Looking at a canopy tells you little about what’s in the duct. A system can look clean at the filters and be heavily coated further in, which is why readings matter.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Pre-clean surveys before a first TR19 clean
- Sites with gaps in their extract records
For kitchens in and around Dane Hill, the clean covers everything from the canopy to the discharge.
