TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Coombe
Any kitchen we clean in Coombe 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 are dealing with an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, we can help. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Coombe start: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
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 extract cleaning in Coombe is usually done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.

Coombe kitchens: local notes
Look up Coombe on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 132 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 40 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Coombe. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. London Fire Brigade covers Coombe. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Coombe, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Kingston-Upon-Thames council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Southside House is about 1.4 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Where a hall near Christ Church New Malden, or anywhere in Coombe, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. School kitchens, at schools like Coombe Hill Junior School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Coombe is about 1 mile north of New Malden, in Greater London. Coombe gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with pictures. Across Greater London, we cover 764 places, and Coombe is one of them. You can also see our page for London, roughly 9 miles from Coombe.
We work across KT2, KT3 and SW20 for kitchen extract cleaning and the roads nearby. Local streets include West Road, Crown Road and Traps Lane, all of which we cover for kitchen extract cleaning.

Larger places within reach include London (9 miles north-east), City of Westminster (8 miles north-east), Marylebone (8 miles north-east), Kensington (6 miles north-east), St Pancras (10 miles north-east) and Shoreditch (11 miles north-east).

When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- A grease trap that needs emptying
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Why it’s worth doing now in Coombe
Environmental health officers inspect food businesses, in Coombe as everywhere else, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters won’t go unnoticed. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Why us?
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- We are fully insured
- A fixed price before any work starts

Managing agents and facilities teams in Coombe
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Common questions in Coombe
Which fire service covers Coombe?
That is London Fire Brigade. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can parking be tricky for a job in Coombe?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit normally gets round them.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
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.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
It takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
Every clean ends with a photo report. Before and after photos show each part of the system, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
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.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we are happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Coombe.
- 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.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
