How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Belsize Park
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That film is fuel, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. Typical jobs include ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and grease drips onto cooking equipment, on discharge points, extract fans and canopies and hoods. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across Greater London.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
Kitchens in Belsize Park, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Belsize Park
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

Grease, kitchens and Belsize Park
Food Standards Agency data counts about 749 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 325 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Belsize Park. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Food hygiene inspections in Belsize Park are the job of Camden council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in Belsize Park falls to London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you cook for passing trade around South Hampstead station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Where a hall near Church of St Mary the Virgin, or anywhere in Belsize Park, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. A hospital like Wellington Hospital, about 0.9 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Belsize Park is about 1 mile south-east of Hampstead, in Greater London.

What affects the quote in Belsize Park
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The scale of the work
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
- A few general shots of the system
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
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 to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
Why act early in Belsize Park
Every week without a clean adds another layer. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean straight away. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. A busy site in Belsize Park builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

FAQs for Belsize Park
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Belsize Park out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 71 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Belsize Park. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we will plan around them.
What do you need to know about parking in Belsize Park?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Belsize Park makes the visit easier to plan. Working overnight, as we often do in London, typically makes it simpler.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before we start.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19 isn’t written into law, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters
Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Whether it’s one hood or a long island canopy, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that do not.
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Belsize Park.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before work begins.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
