Greater London · Kitchen extract cleaning
Kitchen extract cleaning in Grahame Park, Greater London
Kitchen extract cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Grahame Park. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Grahame Park
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Anything out of reach is noted in the report and extra access panels can be added. If you are dealing with fat running down the canopy edge and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract, we can help. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but in Grahame Park, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
Kitchens in Grahame Park, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What else we do in Grahame Park
Kitchen extract cleaning in Grahame Park: the local picture
Food Standards Agency data counts about 183 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 108 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Grahame Park. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading is not affected. Food hygiene inspections in Grahame Park are the job of Barnet council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Augustine Grahame Park or anywhere around Grahame Park, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. School kitchens, at schools like St James' Catholic High School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. For kitchens close to Mill Hill Broadway station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

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 will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Grahame Park: your questions answered
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Grahame Park in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 44 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Grahame Park, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll fit the work in.
Can you come to Grahame Park after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Grahame Park doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What accreditations do you hold?
We’re members of Vent Hygiene Elite, the scheme run by BESCA, and we clean to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
How long will the clean take?
Allow one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
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.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we typically come back within one working day. If photos are not enough, we will survey first.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, typically ready within one working day.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Grahame Park
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How easy every part is to reach
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The times the site is available
- Travel, parking and unloading
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
How it works
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. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Most London sites can’t stop for the day, so work in Grahame Park is usually done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Keep the baffle filters clean
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the pictures. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
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.
What the work involves, 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.
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
