What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a morning or less for one kitchen, more where there are several systems, and we clear up before we go. For a village or hamlet like Shippon, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First we look at the system’s cleaning history, if there is one.
- We follow the extract from canopy to discharge.
- Access panels are located and any missing ones noted.
- Grease readings are taken and photos recorded.
- You get a report and a fixed quote for the clean.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Advice
TR19 inspection in Shippon, done properly
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 Shippon and across Oxfordshire a clear record of the system’s condition. If you are dealing with sites with gaps in their extract records and heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts, we can help, from access surveys, post-clean checks and insurer audits onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Shippon, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Common problems we fix in Shippon
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, so readings are the reliable guide.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Larkmead School or anywhere near Shippon, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether they’re fully insured
- When the next visit should be, and why
Different parts, different methods
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
BESA’s minimum for heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day is a clean every 3 months, and readings show whether that’s enough.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
We fit testing around service times and school holidays so meals are not affected.
What affects the quote in Shippon
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Parking and loading at the site
- How easy every part is to reach
- The scale of the work
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced 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
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Shippon: your questions answered
Can a school canteen extract in Shippon be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Shippon, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you work in villages like Shippon?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Shippon included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Can you work evenings and weekends?
Yes. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote and we will book around them.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How often should grease be tested?
Enough to be sure grease stays within the TR19® Grease figures between cleans. If readings rise, the interval should shorten.

What else we do in Shippon
What TR19 inspection looks like in Shippon
Food Standards Agency records include about 12 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Shippon, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Shippon sits within the area of 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. Food hygiene inspections in Shippon are the job of Vale of White Horse council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary Magdalene or anywhere around Shippon, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Appleton Manor, about 3.1 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses near Shippon; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Why it’s worth doing now in Shippon
Without readings, you’re guessing when to clean. Any reading of 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning under TR19® Grease, and you can only act on that if you’ve measured it. If the system at a site near Shippon fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
