Kitchen extracts in Long Hanborough
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Long Hanborough. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Kitchens in Long Hanborough get their food hygiene inspections from West Oxfordshire council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Long Hanborough falls to Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Christ Church or elsewhere in Long Hanborough, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Blenheim Palace, about 1.9 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Long Hanborough; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

About our TR19 inspection in Long Hanborough
Insurance policies often require evidence of TR19® cleaning and inspection. Without it, a claim can be refused or reduced. Our TR19 audits give sites in Long Hanborough and across Oxfordshire a clear record of the system’s condition. The work covers pre-clean surveys, insurer audits and deposit thickness tests, and the jobs we see most are sites with gaps in their extract records and systems that need surveying before cleaning.
In a smaller place like Long Hanborough, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Take a look at how cleaning jobs are priced or our accreditations.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Never cook with filters missing
- Tell us if menus or opening hours change
- Store grease readings where your insurer can see them
- Keep to the recommended interval
For an insurer audit, send them the report as it is, with readings, pictures and any areas not accessible.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Long Hanborough
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. Without them, nobody knows how much grease is in the system or when it was last cleaned.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Kitchens taken over with no cleaning records
- Checking the result of a recent clean
- Systems that need surveying before cleaning
A kitchen near Combe station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
Questions to ask before you book
- When the next visit should be, and why
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- What records you will receive afterwards
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Long Hanborough, so let us know how to reach it.
- After the clean, we arrange a time to check the system.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- Grease readings are taken again at set points.
- Photos are taken to show the condition after the clean.
- The results are reported, with anything missed flagged.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Move anything stored near the system
