- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Coombe Hill
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That film is fuel, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. If you’re dealing with stale cooking odours from the system and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history, we can help, from vertical risers, plenums and filters and horizontal duct runs onwards. Most calls from Coombe Hill come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
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 Coombe Hill 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Why act early in Coombe Hill
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, which is slower to clean. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. London sites work long hours, and the longer a job is left, the bigger it gets.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.

What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. In a London area like Coombe Hill, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. 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.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Coombe Hill kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 7 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Coombe Hill, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected. London Fire Brigade covers Coombe Hill. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Pembroke Lodge is about 1.5 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Kingston Hospital (about 1.4 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Common questions in Coombe Hill
What do you need to know about parking in Coombe Hill?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Which council inspects kitchens in Coombe Hill?
Food hygiene inspections in Coombe Hill are carried out by Kingston-Upon-Thames council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, and readings will tell you.
Do you cover Coombe Hill?
Yes. We work in Coombe Hill and the rest of Greater London, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
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.
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.
Is a quote from photos possible?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
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. Your quote says how long to expect.

What else we do in Coombe Hill
When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
Different parts, different methods
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 kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Coombe Hill
The reason for all this is fire. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. For a kitchen in Coombe Hill, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
For schools such as Robin Hood Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Questions to ask before booking
- When the next visit should be, and why
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether a survey comes first
