Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Angel
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with photos of the canopy and filters, and you’ll have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Angel, typically within one working day. If you are dealing with extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and stale cooking odours from the system, we can help. Most calls from Angel come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
In a London area like Angel, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What the work involves, part by part
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. In Angel, as across London, we typically work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Angel
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
Bursars and site managers at schools such as St John Evangelist RC Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- What insurance they carry
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
Why act early in Angel
Leaving the clean until the next refit does not make the grease go away. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, which is slower to clean. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. Planning ahead in Angel lets you pick a quiet night rather than lose a busy one.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Why book with us
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Photo reports with every job
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Angel and across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Kitchen extracts in Angel
There are about 2,346 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 629 sandwich bars and takeaways across Angel and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Angel is covered by London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Mark's Church, or anywhere in Angel, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Angel is Finsbury Health Centre, about 0.5 miles south.

Angel: your questions answered
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Angel?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Angel. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What do you need to know about parking in Angel?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Angel, and about any building rules on loading. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
What do I get after the clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
We clean to BESA TR19® Grease as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, with certificates issued through the BESCA portal. We have been trading since 2009.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
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 you’ve dealt with extract grease.
What’s 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.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
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.
