Kitchen duct cleaning in Brook Green
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Brook Green give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. Typical jobs include extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and grease smells coming from the extract, on discharge points, canopies and hoods and vertical risers. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in Brook Green covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
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.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Brook Green is typically done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Brook Green
A kitchen in Brook Green builds up grease in the same places as any other: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Larmenier & Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether VAT is included
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Kitchen extract cleaning around Brook Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 982 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 142 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Brook Green. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. In Brook Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Hammersmith and Fulham council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. London jobs normally start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Brook Green is West London Hospital, about under half a mile south. A kitchen near Kensington Olympia station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

FAQs for Brook Green
Does London parking affect a job in Brook Green?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Brook Green makes the visit easier to plan. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Brook Green?
The local authority for Brook Green is Hammersmith and Fulham council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
How long will the clean take?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. Most jobs take one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
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 any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Brook Green
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
How it works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Brook Green.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. It’s better booked as a planned job in Brook Green than handled as an emergency.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
