Kitchen extracts in Strawberry Hill
The Food Standards Agency lists about 43 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Strawberry Hill. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Food hygiene inspections in Strawberry Hill are the job of Richmond-Upon-Thames council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. In London, kitchens are typically cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier.
For schools such as Kneller Hall Senior School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hospital like Teddington Memorial Hospital, about 0.9 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Extract fan cleaning in Strawberry Hill
Think of the fan as the system’s heart and the grease as a clot. A heart under strain works harder for less. We clean it, run it and note anything that needs a closer look, before signing it off. If you are dealing with an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and thick grease on the impeller and casing, we can put it right, from fan housings, axial fans and centrifugal fans onwards.
Kitchens in Strawberry Hill, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens if it’s left?
A greasy fan has to work harder to move the same air. Airflow at the canopy drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the motor works harder. A building in Strawberry Hill may have flats or offices above and alongside, and a fault in the system can affect them too.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Multi-site and managed buildings
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Strawberry Hill and across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Listen for new noises or vibration from the fan
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Make sure the fan is included each time
- Note any drop in extraction at the canopy
The photo report shows the fan before and after cleaning. It lists what was cleaned and anything we couldn’t reach, along with the recommended next clean date.
Listen to the fan. Rattles, hums or shaking can be early signs of build-up or wear, and catching it early keeps it a cleaning job.
What affects the quote in Strawberry Hill
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How big the system is
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Any previous report or certificate
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
Questions from Strawberry Hill
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Strawberry Hill out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Strawberry Hill, the Food Standards Agency lists about 13 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Is parking a problem for work in Strawberry Hill?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do you need to turn the fan off to clean it?
The fan is isolated before we open it, so it cannot run during the clean. With the extract off, the kitchen cannot cook, so we work out of hours.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
How much does extract fan cleaning cost in Strawberry Hill?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Is the fan included in a TR19 clean?
Yes, the fan is part of a full TR19® Grease clean. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned along with the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts and discharge.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Common problems we fix in Strawberry Hill
A greasy fan in Strawberry Hill is fuel at the end of the duct. If grease in the duct catches, the fan and its housing can feed the fire and an overworked motor runs hotter.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A fan coated in grease inside its housing
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A fan shaking on its mounts
- A fan left out of previous cleans
A kitchen near Strawberry Hill station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

- How VAT is shown on the quote
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes an hour or two for most single fans. In a London area like Strawberry Hill, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- First we locate the fan and agree how it’s safely isolated.
- With the fan isolated, the housing is opened.
- Grease is scraped from the impeller blades and the inside of the housing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- We reassemble, run the fan and photograph the result.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Advice
What staff can safely do
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.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
