Kitchen extraction cleaning in Bedford Park

How the visit works
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 the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Bedford Park saves time on the night.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Bedford Park
Across Bedford Park, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. Common call-outs are for years of baked-on grease in the ducts and grease smells coming from the extract, across canopies and hoods, extract fans and discharge points. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but in Bedford Park, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Bedford Park is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
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.
What a clean won’t put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- An undersized canopy or fan
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
Kitchen extract cleaning in Bedford Park: the local picture
The FSA’s data shows about 84 pubs and bars and about 8 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered within about 1.5 miles of central Bedford Park. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Bedford Park is covered by 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. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Bedford Park is Queen Charlotte's and Chelsea Hospital, about 1.5 miles north-east. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Peter's or elsewhere in Bedford Park, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you cook for passing trade around South Acton station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Bedford Park: your questions answered
Can you come to Bedford Park after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Bedford Park needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Bedford Park?
Kitchens in Bedford Park are inspected by Ealing council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you cover Bedford Park?
Yes. Bedford Park is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
What do I get after the clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Bedford Park?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where necessary.
Part by part
Canopy and plenum
Whether it’s one hood or a long island canopy, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
A pub or restaurant can’t afford to cancel a service for a clean. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
What affects the quote in Bedford Park
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- What state the system is in
- How many systems or sites are involved
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
Any section without access is marked on the report. That is part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
What happens if it’s left?
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. It’s better booked as a planned job in Bedford Park than handled as an emergency.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
