Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Alperton
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Send a few pictures of the canopy and filters when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and you’ll have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Alperton, usually within one working day. If you’re dealing with missing paperwork after a change of operator and an extract that no longer clears the smoke, we can help, from vertical risers, extract fans and canopies and hoods onwards. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but in Alperton, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Alperton is usually done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Alperton
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The condition of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The size of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
What the work involves, part by part
Grease filters
A filter that’s missing or bent lets grease straight past. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that don’t.
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.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Alperton
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Alperton and across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Leave it or put it right?
Every week without a clean adds another layer. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean right away. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. In Alperton, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

Kitchen extracts in Alperton
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 34 pubs, bars and clubs and about 8 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Alperton. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Kitchens in Alperton get their food hygiene inspections from Brent council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in Alperton falls to London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St James Church Alperton or elsewhere in Alperton, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Central Middlesex Hospital about 1.5 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Before any visit in Alperton, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
Advice
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Alperton?
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Fat running down the canopy edge
For schools such as Alperton Community School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether VAT is included
Questions from Alperton
Can the work in Alperton be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Alperton keeps running as normal. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can school kitchens in Alperton be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 32 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Alperton. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we typically come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19 isn’t written into law, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
BESA guidance sets minimums by daily cooking hours: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
