Kitchen extract cleaning in Bowes Park, Greater London
Need kitchen extract cleaning in Bowes Park? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around your hours, finishing with a written report and photos.
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
When to call us in Bowes Park
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. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Mary's Greek Orthodox Church or elsewhere in Bowes Park, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- How VAT is shown on the quote
Kitchen extract cleaning in Bowes Park, done properly
Any kitchen we clean in Bowes Park gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. If you have an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs, we can put it right. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Bowes Park, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in Greater London.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Bowes Park is typically done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Bowes Park
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
What affects the quote in Bowes Park
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How many systems or sites are involved
- What state the system is in
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

What the work involves, part by part
Ductwork and risers
Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
Canopy and plenum
Behind the grease filters sits the plenum, which daily cleaning never reaches. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Expect the work in Bowes Park to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Questions from Bowes Park
Does London parking affect a job in Bowes Park?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Bowes Park makes the visit easier to plan. Working overnight, as we often do in London, usually makes it simpler.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Bowes Park?
That is London Fire Brigade. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What do I get after the clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
