TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Dollis Hill
Kitchen extract cleaning for Dollis Hill, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Grease smells coming from the extract
Why deal with it now?
TR19® is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. A building in Dollis Hill may have flats or offices above and alongside, and a fault in the system can affect them too.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Dollis Hill
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Send a few pictures of the canopy and filters when you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and you will have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Dollis Hill, normally within one working day. Typical jobs include poor airflow at the canopy and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, across discharge points, vertical risers and canopies and hoods. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, in Dollis Hill it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
In a London area like Dollis Hill, 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Dollis Hill
Can parking be tricky for a job in Dollis Hill?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Dollis Hill, and about any building rules on loading. If the building has a loading slot system, we’ll book into it.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Dollis Hill out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 40 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Dollis Hill. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
When do you clean the extract?
Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. The equipment is switched off and left to cool, and we hand the kitchen back ready for the next service.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
BESA guidance gives minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months, depending on daily cooking hours. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, which grease thickness testing will show.
Is Dollis Hill in your area?
Yes. We work in Dollis Hill and the rest of Greater London, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Dollis Hill.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Get a fixed quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
Advice
Kitchen extract cleaning around Dollis Hill
The FSA’s data shows about 26 pubs and bars and about 6 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered in Dollis Hill and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Dollis Hill is covered by London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Kitchens in Dollis Hill get their food hygiene inspections from Brent council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
School kitchens, at schools like Our Lady of Grace Catholic Junior School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Andrew's Hospital (about less than half a mile south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Michael or anywhere around Dollis Hill, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight with as little disruption as possible.
Ductwork and risers
Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
What affects the quote in Dollis Hill
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- How big the system is
- The condition we find in the survey
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix

- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
