About our kitchen extract cleaning in Angell Town
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and grease settles in every one of them. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. If you have grease dripping from the canopy or filters and stale cooking odours from the system, we can help. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, in Angell Town it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. In Angell Town, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. In Angell Town, as across London, we usually work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Angell Town: the local picture
Look up Angell Town on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 663 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 313 sandwich bars and takeaways in Angell Town and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. London jobs typically start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first. The fire and rescue service for Angell Town is London Fire Brigade. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
A hospital like St Giles' Hospital, about 1.2 miles 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 John the Evangelist or elsewhere in Angell Town, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What the work involves, part by part
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. Access panels along the riser let us clean it in sections.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
Why it’s worth doing now in Angell Town
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 a London building, a problem in a duct, damper or fan rarely stays in one unit.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Common questions in Angell Town
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Angell Town during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 83 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Angell Town. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Is parking a problem for work in Angell Town?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Angell Town, and about any building rules on loading. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. 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 offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, so evenings, overnight, early mornings and weekends are all options. Equipment needs to be off and cool before work begins.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
When to call us in Angell Town
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine 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. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Fat running down the canopy edge
If you cook for passing trade around Loughborough Junction station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.
