How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Brunswick Park
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and grease settles in every one of them. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. We are often asked to deal with a kitchen taken over without any extract records and rancid smells from grease in the duct, across vertical risers, canopies and hoods and horizontal duct runs. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Brunswick Park, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in Greater London.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, so that’s where most of the work in Brunswick Park goes.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. In Brunswick Park, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Brunswick Park kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 36 pubs and bars as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Brunswick Park. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service. Fire safety in Brunswick Park falls to London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Oakleigh Community Church or elsewhere in Brunswick Park, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St Andrew the Apostle Greek Orthodox School or anywhere near Brunswick Park, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Brunswick Park is Coppetts Wood Hospital, about 1.7 miles south.

Questions from Brunswick Park
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Brunswick Park out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 55 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Brunswick Park. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll fit the work in.
Can you come to Brunswick Park after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Brunswick Park can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Is Brunswick Park in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Brunswick Park included.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. We’ll recommend a date after measuring the grease.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
How long will the clean take?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. We’ll tell you how long when we quote.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive 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 the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. In Brunswick Park, as across London, we typically work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Brunswick Park and across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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, alongside our reports.
What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning

- How many systems or sites are involved
- How big the system is
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The site address and the type of premises
- A few general shots of the system
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Why it’s worth doing now in Brunswick Park
Every week without a clean adds another layer. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. Every month a London system goes without attention adds to what has to be done later.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
