Kitchen duct cleaning in Crooked Billet
We’ve been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. If you have grease dripping from the canopy or filters and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction, we can put it right. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
Most kitchens in Crooked Billet fall into one of BESA’s three bands: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, with grease readings setting the real interval.
In a London area like Crooked Billet, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What happens on the day
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Crooked Billet is typically out of hours.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

What affects the quote in Crooked Billet
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The times the site is available
- The size of the system
- The condition we find in the survey
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The site address and the type of premises
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
FAQs for Crooked Billet
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Crooked Billet in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 28 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Crooked Billet. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Crooked Billet?
That is London Fire Brigade. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Where there aren’t enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after pictures, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
When do you clean the extract?
When the kitchen is closed, at whatever time suits you. The equipment is switched off and left to cool, and we hand the kitchen back ready for the next service.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Crooked Billet
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 32 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 6 hotels and B&Bs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Crooked Billet. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Kitchens in Crooked Billet get their food hygiene inspections from Merton council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Crooked Billet is London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Atkinson Morley Hospital (about 0.5 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. A kitchen near Raynes Park station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
Crooked Billet is about 1 mile west of Wimbledon, in Greater London.

What we are called out for in Crooked Billet
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
School kitchens, at schools like Wimbledon College for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
What your quote should include
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate

What else we do in Crooked Billet
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Wash or exchange the filters often
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as pictures. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
