How the job changes from site to site
Ductwork and risers
Long flat runs of duct are where grease collects. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that can’t be reached.
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and put back so they seat correctly. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Chiswick, done properly
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. For a kitchen in Chiswick, our certificate and photo report give you that record for the maintenance log. The work covers vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and canopies and hoods, and people most often call us about grease dripping from the canopy or filters and grease smells coming from the extract. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, it’s the job we do every week across Greater London.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Chiswick is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Kitchen extracts in Chiswick
Food Standards Agency data counts about 538 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 124 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Chiswick. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Environmental health officers from Hounslow council inspect food businesses in Chiswick. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like West London Hospital about 1.5 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. School kitchens, at schools like The William Hogarth Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run a café or takeaway near Chiswick station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Chiswick
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
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.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
Why it’s worth doing now in Chiswick
A clogged extract does not only raise the fire risk. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky, while the fan works harder to move less air. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. Leaving it on a busy London site only adds to the work.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.

How it works
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. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. If your building in Chiswick has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
Common questions in Chiswick
Does London parking affect a job in Chiswick?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Working overnight, as we often do in London, typically makes it simpler.
Which fire authority looks after Chiswick?
Fire safety enforcement in Chiswick is handled by London Fire Brigade. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we will typically reply within one working day.
Can you quote from pictures?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Is Chiswick in your area?
Yes. We cover Chiswick and across Greater London, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- An undersized canopy or fan
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
