In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Albany Park
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Any section we cannot reach is recorded on the report and extra access panels can be added. If you have heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history, we can help. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, in Albany Park it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
Most kitchens in Albany Park fall into one of BESA’s three bands: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Albany Park is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Part by part
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
Honest limits
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- A grease trap that needs emptying
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Most London sites cannot stop for the day, so work in Albany Park is usually done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Questions from Albany Park
How do you handle parking and loading in Albany Park?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit normally gets round them.
Can you come to Albany Park after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Albany Park can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Do you work in Albany Park?
Yes. We work in Albany Park and across Greater London, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How long will the clean take?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. We will tell you how long when we quote.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Albany Park and across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.

Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Bexley council inspect food businesses in Albany Park. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.

Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.

Common problems we fix in Albany Park
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Poor airflow at the canopy
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Queen Mary's Hospital is the nearest hospital to Albany Park, about 0.5 miles south.
