Kitchen extract cleaning for sites in Belmont

Kitchen extract cleaning in Belmont

We’ve been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. The work covers horizontal duct runs, canopies and hoods and plenums and filters, and people most often call us about rancid smells from grease in the duct and years of baked-on grease in the ducts. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.

Most kitchens in Belmont fall into one of BESA’s three bands: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, with grease readings setting the real interval.

In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Belmont 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.

Looking after it afterwards

Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:

  • Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
  • Keep grease collection points emptied
  • Keep the baffle filters clean
  • Book the next clean before the date on the report

Any section without access is marked on the report. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.

Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.

What the work involves, part by part

Canopy and plenum

Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.

Schools, hospitals and care homes

Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.

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, alongside our reports.

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Belmont

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Belmont and across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.

Belmont: your questions answered

Which fire authority looks after Belmont?

That’s London Fire Brigade. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.

Is parking a problem for work in Belmont?

Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Belmont, and about any building rules on loading. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.

What do you do with what you remove?

Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.

How long will the clean take?

Allow a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. We will confirm the time when we quote.

What information do you need?

Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

How do you keep the site clean during the work?

Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.

Do you work with multi-site operators?

Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.

What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix

We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:

  • A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
  • Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
  • Damaged duct sections that need replacing

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on in Belmont

  • Canopies and hoods
  • Plenums and filters
  • Extract fans
  • Vertical risers
  • Horizontal duct runs
  • Discharge points

How the visit works

Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time, and we clear up before we go. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Belmont saves time on the night.

  1. You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
  2. Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
  3. The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
  4. Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
  5. We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Arrange a key holder or contact on site
  • Let us know about parking and loading
  • Move anything stored near the system

Belmont kitchens: local notes

There are about 154 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 59 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Belmont, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected. Belmont is covered by London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Anselm or elsewhere in Belmont, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. A hospital like Northwick Park Hospital, about 1.8 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Belmont is about 1 mile south-west of Stanmore, in Greater London.

What affects the quote in Belmont

There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:

  • What state the system is in
  • The scale of the work
  • Whether several sites go on one quote
  • Site requirements such as sign-in and permits

Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Asking for a quote

Before you ask for a quote, gather:

  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • Wide photos of the system and the area around it
  • Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks

There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
