FAQs for Bandonhill
Which fire authority looks after Bandonhill?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers Bandonhill. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you work in Bandonhill outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Bandonhill doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
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 TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
Can you quote from photos?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
How long will the clean take?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. Most jobs take a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
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.
How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Bandonhill
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. For a kitchen in Bandonhill, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. If you have a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and an extract that no longer clears the smoke, we can put it right, from plenums and filters, vertical risers and canopies and hoods onwards. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, in Bandonhill it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and readings afterwards go into your report.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Bandonhill 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. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why act early in Bandonhill
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A certificate in the file answers that question. A booked night’s work in Bandonhill costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

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 one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Most London sites can’t stop for the day, so work in Bandonhill is normally 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.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.

What a clean will not put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Canopies and hoods
- Extract fans
- Discharge points
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
How the job changes from site to site
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. Each run is cleaned through its access panels, recording any that can’t be reached.
Canopy and plenum
Behind the grease filters sits the plenum, which daily cleaning never reaches. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.
Grease, kitchens and Bandonhill
The FSA’s data shows about 32 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 5 hotels and guest houses registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Bandonhill. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Food hygiene inspections in Bandonhill are the job of Sutton council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. London jobs usually start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Purley War Memorial Hospital (about 1.8 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. School kitchens, at schools like High View Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Bandonhill?
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. For a kitchen in Bandonhill, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
If you cook for passing trade around Waddon station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
