Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Bickley
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Bickley?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Bickley. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Bickley in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Bickley, the Food Standards Agency lists about 14 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we will plan around them.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
The whole system: the canopy, the plenum behind the filters, the filters, horizontal ducts, vertical risers, the fan and the discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What’s TR19?
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, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. TR19 is the industry benchmark for meeting that duty in a kitchen extract, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Bickley
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with pictures of the canopy and filters, and you’ll have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Bickley, usually within one working day. The work covers discharge points, horizontal duct runs and extract fans, and the jobs we see most are cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in Bickley covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, so that is where most of the work in Bickley goes.
Kitchens in Bickley, 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.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
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 we do, step by step
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Bickley.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system 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
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Managing agents and facilities teams in Bickley
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Bickley and across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bickley
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, which is slower to clean. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. Every month a London system goes without attention adds to what has to be done later.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Why book with us
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Every visit written up, with pictures
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
What affects the quote in Bickley
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The scale of the work
- What state the system is in
- The times the site is available
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The site address and the type of premises
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
When to call us in Bickley
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
A hospital like Bridgeways Day Hospital, about 1 mile south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Before booking anyone

- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens often cook for long hours, frying and grilling, which can put them in BESA’s 3 or 6-monthly bands. We clean after close or before opening.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. We plan the clean around meal times and work in a contained, tidy way with as little disruption as possible.
Kitchen extracts in Bickley
The Food Standards Agency lists about 23 pubs, bars and clubs and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses across Bickley and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. London Fire Brigade covers Bickley. 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. In London, kitchens are usually cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier.
School kitchens, at schools like Bullers Wood School for Boys for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. For kitchens close to Bickley station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
