Kitchen extraction cleaning in Earlsfield
Looking for kitchen extract cleaning in Earlsfield? We survey first, send you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, then sign off with a report and photos.
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Grease smells coming from the extract
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Keep the baffle filters clean
You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Earlsfield
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 Earlsfield, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. Common call-outs are for an extract that no longer clears the smoke and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, across extract fans, canopies and hoods and discharge points. Kitchens in Earlsfield book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
A clean in Earlsfield covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
In a London area like Earlsfield, 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Grease, kitchens and Earlsfield
Food Standards Agency data counts about 554 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 88 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Earlsfield. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Earlsfield 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. In London, kitchens are normally cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier.
If you cook for passing trade around Earlsfield station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. School kitchens, at schools like Beatrix Potter Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Earlsfield
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. For a job in Earlsfield, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Advice
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The scale of the work
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will typically have a quote within one working day.

Earlsfield questions
What do you need to know about parking in Earlsfield?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit usually gets round them.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Earlsfield?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Earlsfield. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What do I get after the clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. Without proof, a claim can be refused or reduced, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
When do you clean the extract?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, so evenings, overnight, early mornings and weekends are all options. Equipment needs to be off and cool before any work starts.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we are fully insured.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
When to call us in Earlsfield
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.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St James' Hospital (about 1 mile east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What insurance they carry
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
