Kitchen extract cleaning near Fulham

Kitchen duct cleaning in Fulham

Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Send a few photos of the canopy and filters when you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll come back with a fixed price for the work in Fulham, normally within one working day. The work covers canopies and hoods, plenums and filters and extract fans, and the jobs we see most are a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer and ductwork thick with old, hardened grease. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Fulham, you get one team and one number for every site.

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 Fulham, 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, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.

We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Part by part

Schools, hospitals and care homes

Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. We plan the clean around meal times and work in a contained, tidy way with as little disruption as possible.

Extract fan and discharge

The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning

The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:

  • The condition of the system
  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
  • Whether several sites go on one quote
  • A single visit or a regular plan

You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

What to send for a quote

To help us quote quickly, send us:

  • Any access panels or hatches you can see
  • Any previous report or certificate
  • The postcode and the type of business
  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet

Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

When it’s something else

We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:

  • Faulty fire dampers in the duct
  • A duct that’s holed or coming apart
  • A fan motor that has burnt out

If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before you book.

What the work covers

  • Horizontal duct runs
  • Discharge points
  • Canopies and hoods
  • Extract fans
  • Vertical risers
  • Plenums and filters

Why act early in Fulham

If your kitchen in Fulham is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. The job takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you don’t lose a service. Waiting only adds grease and risk. A booked night’s work in Fulham costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.

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’ll go through it with you.

Why us?

  • Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
  • A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
  • In business since 2009
  • Fully insured

Questions from Fulham

Can a school canteen extract in Fulham be done out of term time?

Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 65 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Fulham. You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.

Can the work in Fulham be done at night or at weekends?

Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Fulham does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.

What do I get after the clean?

You get both a certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log, ready for your insurer or an inspection.

Can you price the work without visiting?

Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.

Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?

Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.

How far ahead should we book?

Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.

What about areas you can’t get to?

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.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Fulham

Food Standards Agency records list about 845 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 128 takeaways in and around Fulham, up to about a mile and a half out. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. In London, kitchens are usually cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier. It’s Hammersmith and Fulham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Fulham. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

A kitchen near West Brompton station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Church and community hall kitchens, near St. Peter's Church or anywhere around Fulham, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

When to call us in Fulham

What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
  • An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
  • Grease drips onto cooking equipment
  • A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer

A hospital like Western Hospital, about 0.7 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

What your quote should include

  • Whether a written report and pictures are included
  • What hours they’ll be on site
  • Whether VAT is included
  • When the next visit should be, and why

Choosing a duct cleaning contractor

What we do, step by step

There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we are happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Fulham.

  1. Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
  2. We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
  3. We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
  4. Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
  5. The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
  • Tell us where we can park and unload
  • Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

How to get a quote

Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Advice

Keeping the system healthy

After the visit, a few habits help the work last:

  • Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
  • Refit filters properly after cleaning
  • Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
  • Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy

The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date is not missed.

Book the next clean before the last one runs out. 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.
