FAQs for Becontree
Can school kitchens in Becontree be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 49 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Becontree, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
What do you need to know about parking in Becontree?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit usually gets round them.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
We clean every part the grease travels through. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where needed.
About our kitchen extract cleaning in Becontree
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Becontree give you that record for the maintenance log. The work covers vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and canopies and hoods, and people most often call us about years of baked-on grease in the ducts and grease dripping from the canopy or filters. Kitchens in Becontree book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Becontree is typically done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Kitchen extracts in Becontree
Food Standards Agency data counts about 99 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 127 takeaways and sandwich shops in Becontree and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. It’s Barking and Dagenham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Becontree. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Becontree falls to London Fire Brigade. 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.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Becontree?
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.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
Where a hall near St George's, or anywhere in Becontree, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Questions to ask before you book
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What paperwork you get at the end
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Becontree.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Move anything stored near the system
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Advice
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Part by part
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and put back so they seat correctly. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, so grease readings help set the right interval.

- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition of the system
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- A few general shots of the system
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report
