Greater London · Kitchen extract cleaning
Kitchen extract cleaning in Coombe, Greater London
Professional kitchen extract cleaning in and around Coombe, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and photos.
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Coombe
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Coombe give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. If you are dealing with an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and grease dripping from the canopy or filters, we can put it right. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Coombe start: a system that’s clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
In a London area like Coombe, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Common problems we fix in Coombe
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and from there it travels on to the fan.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
Addington Palace, about 1.3 miles east, is one of the historic houses near Coombe; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Common questions in Coombe
Do you work at weekends in Coombe?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Coombe needn’t be disturbed. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Coombe?
Fire safety enforcement in Coombe is handled by London Fire Brigade. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where necessary.
Grease, kitchens and Coombe
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 15 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 10 hotels and B&Bs across Coombe and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. In Coombe, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Croydon council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. London jobs normally start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.
Where a hall near Church Hall United Reformed Church Of St Paul, or anywhere in Coombe, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. For schools such as Coombe Wood School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens often cook for long hours, frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. We clean after close or before opening.
Ductwork and risers
Long flat runs of duct are where grease collects. Each run is cleaned through its access panels, recording any that cannot be reached.
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date is not missed.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving the clean until the next refit doesn’t make the grease go away. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, which is slower to clean. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. A busy site in Coombe builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Coombe saves time on the night.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
