About our kitchen extract cleaning in Crews Hill
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in Crews Hill, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. The work covers canopies and hoods, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs, and the jobs we see most are grease smells coming from the extract and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Crews Hill? We have been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
A clean in Crews Hill covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Crews 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 pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Common questions in Crews Hill
Can a school canteen extract in Crews Hill be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 9 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Crews Hill, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Does London parking affect a job in Crews Hill?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Allow one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we typically come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
The whole system: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we cannot reach is recorded on the report.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It doesn’t solve:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Crews Hill kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 6 pubs and bars in and around Crews Hill, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too. Crews Hill sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like St John's CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Commuter trade near Crews Hill station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The times the site is available
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll talk you through it.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- A few general shots of the system
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
What we are called out for in Crews Hill
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Chase Farm Hospital is the nearest hospital to Crews Hill, about 1 mile south.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Crews Hill saves time on the night.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Move anything stored near the system
