Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Belsize?
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Hemel Hempstead Hospital about 4 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Belsize
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Send a few photos of the canopy and filters when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll come back with a fixed price for the work in Belsize, usually within one working day. Typical jobs include fat running down the canopy edge and grease smells coming from the extract, across horizontal duct runs, extract fans and plenums and filters. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Belsize typically mean the kitchen extract, and that’s our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
Work in a small place like Belsize starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Common questions in Belsize
Do you work at weekends in Belsize?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Will you come out to Belsize?
Yes. Belsize is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before work begins.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after pictures, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
What we do, step by step
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Belsize, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- 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.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear the space around the work
Getting a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

What happens if it’s left?
An overdue clean in Belsize is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. It takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and we fit around your opening hours. Waiting only adds grease and risk. In a place like Belsize, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What staff can safely do
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.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether several sites go on one quote

There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The postcode and the type of business
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
