About our kitchen extract cleaning in De Beauvoir Town
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. The work covers vertical risers, discharge points and canopies and hoods, and common reasons people get in touch are extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and missing paperwork after a change of operator. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, it’s the job we do every week across Greater London.
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.
Kitchens in De Beauvoir Town, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. 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. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as photos. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, and grease can collect there too. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
Ductwork and risers
Long flat runs of duct are where grease collects. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that cannot be reached.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A broken extract fan that will not run
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- What state the system is in
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Questions from De Beauvoir Town
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for De Beauvoir Town?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers De Beauvoir Town. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can school kitchens in De Beauvoir Town be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around De Beauvoir Town, the Food Standards Agency lists about 44 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will fit the work in.
Do you work in De Beauvoir Town?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, De Beauvoir Town included.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
Everything from canopy to discharge: the canopy, the plenum behind the filters, the filters, horizontal ducts, vertical risers, the fan and the discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

When to call us in De Beauvoir Town
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Stale cooking odours from the system
Sutton House, about 1.3 miles east, is one of the historic houses near De Beauvoir Town; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
What your quote should include
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether they recommend a next date
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in De Beauvoir Town.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- 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.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

The FSA’s data shows about 175 pubs, bars and clubs and about 20 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered across De Beauvoir Town and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Food hygiene inspections in De Beauvoir Town are the job of Hackney council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in De Beauvoir Town, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
