Kitchen extraction cleaning in Forty Hill
Kitchen extract cleaning for Forty Hill, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
Kitchen duct cleaning in Forty Hill
We have 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 hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. The work covers canopies and hoods, extract fans and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract. Kitchens in Forty Hill 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 Forty Hill covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Forty Hill is usually done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Forty Hill
Is parking a problem for work in Forty Hill?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit typically gets round them.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Forty Hill?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers Forty Hill. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, and readings will tell you.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
The clean is done when the kitchen is not cooking, working evenings, overnight or at weekends to suit you. We need the equipment switched off and cooled first.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Forty Hill
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so those sections were never reached. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Worcesters Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Forty Hill.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Forty Hill kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 37 pubs and bars as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Forty Hill. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too. Environmental health officers from Enfield council inspect food businesses in Forty Hill. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Jesus Church, or anywhere in Forty Hill, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Michaels Hospital about 0.8 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
