For a kitchen in or near Charlton, 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, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Kitchen extracts in Charlton
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 16 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels and guest houses in and around Charlton, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Environmental health officers from Spelthorne council inspect food businesses in Charlton. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Charlton sits within the area of Surrey 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.
Commuter trade near Upper Halliford station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. A hospital like No. 2 New Zealand General Hospital, about 1.9 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary Magdalene or elsewhere in Charlton, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Charlton is about 1 mile west of Sunbury-on-Thames, in Surrey.

Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
You will have a recommended date for the next clean, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
Some signs mean the duct needs attention sooner: grease leaking from duct joints, smells, or a fan that sounds rough. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Charlton
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Charlton questions
Can a school canteen extract in Charlton be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 21 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Charlton, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
Which fire authority looks after Charlton?
Charlton is in the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Is Charlton in your area?
Yes. Charlton is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
Every clean comes with a photo report, and a full TR19 clean also comes with a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Keep both in the maintenance log.
Different parts, different methods
Bends and transitions
A bend can hold far more grease than a straight run of the same length. We clean it back by hand and with degreaser, and readings are taken there before and after.
Attenuators and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to reduce noise, and their linings can soak up grease. We clean what can be reached and note anything that can’t.
What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. The timing of a visit to Charlton is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
