Managing agents and facilities teams in Osterley
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Canopy cleaning in Osterley
Canopy cleans are done out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. The equipment underneath is switched off, left to cool and sheeted so the kitchen is ready when we go. Typical jobs include grease dripping from the canopy edge and overflowing grease troughs and gutters, on wall canopies, canopy light fittings and island canopies.
Kitchens in Osterley, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Different parts, different methods
Pub and hotel kitchens
In pubs and hotels, the kitchen may be busy for much of the day. Long hours mean the canopy collects grease fast, so it may need cleaning between full TR19 cleans.
Wall canopies
Wall canopies sit against a wall over a cooking line. The joint between canopy and wall is a common grease trap, and we clean that join along with the inside of the hood.
How we price canopy cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- How easy every part is to reach
- The size of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any previous report or certificate
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
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 we can price many jobs without a visit.
The process
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. The work on site takes an hour or two for one small canopy, longer where there are several, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Osterley needs from us.
- The canopy is checked from photos or on a visit.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- We lift out the filters and scrape the plenum and housing.
- Inside and out, the hood and its troughs are cleaned.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear the space around the work
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Get a fixed quote
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.

Why it’s worth doing now in Osterley
Grease dripping from the hood can fall onto food, pans and worktops. That’s a hygiene problem as well as a fire one, and EHOs look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment. In Osterley, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.

Osterley: your questions answered
What do you need to know about parking in Osterley?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Can a school canteen extract in Osterley be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 45 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Osterley. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
What paperwork do I get after a canopy clean?
A photo report, with before and after pictures of the canopy and plenum. It also gives a recommended date for the next clean.
Is Osterley in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Osterley.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Usually not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Grease, kitchens and Osterley
Food Standards Agency records list about 255 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 110 takeaways in and around Osterley, up to about a mile and a half out. Each canopy in those kitchens catches grease on the inside of the hood and behind the filters. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service. The fire and rescue service for Osterley is London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as West Middlesex University Hospital (about 1.3 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Mary's Church or elsewhere in Osterley, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Osterley is about 1 mile north of Hounslow, in Greater London. Wherever you are in the TW7 postcode area, we cover canopy cleaning for commercial sites. Across Greater London, we cover 764 places, and Osterley is one of them. We also work in London, around 11 miles away.
Work in TW7, TW3 and TW5 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. If you need canopy cleaning at premises on Jersey Road, Church Road and Gresham Road or anywhere close by, our technicians can take on the work. Neighbouring places we cover for canopy cleaning include Spring Grove (1 mile south-east), Lampton (1 mile south-west), Norwood Green (1 mile north-west), Gillette Corner (1 mile east) and Woodlands (1 mile south). Further out, we also cover London (11 miles east), City of Westminster (9 miles east), Marylebone (9 miles east), Kensington (6 miles east), St Pancras (10 miles east) and Shoreditch (12 miles east).
Around Osterley
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around The Plough Public House, Spring Grove Primary School and Inwood Park, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Isleworth station, roughly 0.9 miles south-east. Other landmarks nearby include Museum of Army Music (2.1 miles south) and West Middlesex University Hospital (1.3 miles south-east). For a walk, there’s Castlebar Hill and Garden Lake.
What we are called out for in Osterley
Moisture in the air mixes with the grease on the canopy. Water vapour condenses on the cooler canopy surfaces and drips and runs with the grease. Drips onto the cooking line are a common result.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A canopy flagged at an environmental health inspection
- Wet, greasy drips from the hood
- A hood coated in old grease
- Filters that clog soon after cleaning
For kitchens close to Isleworth station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
Before you book anyone
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether they’re fully insured
What a clean won’t put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A hood that does not cover the cooking line
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
- Electrical faults in the canopy
