Kitchen duct cleaning in Farnborough
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Anything out of reach is noted in the report and extra access panels can be added. The work covers extract fans, vertical risers and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are grease smells coming from the extract and an extract that no longer clears the smoke. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, it’s the job we do every week across Greater London.
A clean in Farnborough covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Farnborough is normally done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Farnborough?
A kitchen in Farnborough builds up grease in the same places as any other: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Farnborough Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Part by part
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Farnborough
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The number of sites or systems
- The scale of the work
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

What else we do in Farnborough
The process
On the day, we arrive 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. On site, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Farnborough.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system 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
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.

Questions from Farnborough
Can school kitchens in Farnborough be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 7 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Farnborough. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Farnborough?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers Farnborough. 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 you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19 is not written into law, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
Why deal with it now?
An overdue clean in Farnborough is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. It takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you don’t lose a service. Every extra month adds grease. A busy site in Farnborough builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
What you get with us
- Trading since 2009
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- A written report with photos after each visit

Kitchen extracts in Farnborough
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 14 pubs and bars in Farnborough and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. London Fire Brigade covers Farnborough. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Food hygiene inspections in Farnborough are the job of Bromley council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
