Greater London · Kitchen extract cleaning
TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Greengate
Kitchen extract cleaning for Greengate, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Greengate
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and grease settles in every one of them. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Common call-outs are for an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history, across vertical risers, discharge points and extract fans. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Greengate start: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Greengate is usually done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
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, with full insurance on top.

Part by part
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight, so residents and patients are not disturbed.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
When something else is needed
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Extract fans
- Discharge points
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
Why deal with it now?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A certificate in the file answers that question. A building in Greengate may have flats or offices above and alongside, and a fault in the system can affect them too.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Greengate
A kitchen in Greengate builds up grease in the same places as any other: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
Look out for any of the following:
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Greengate (Eastbury Manor House is about 3.1 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.
What to look for in a quote

- What hours they’ll be on site
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether they’re fully insured
How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Before any visit in Greengate, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Common questions in Greengate
Can the work in Greengate be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Greengate doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Which council inspects kitchens in Greengate?
In Greengate, it’s Newham council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
Everything from canopy to discharge: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.
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.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Greengate
There are about 430 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 308 sandwich bars and takeaways across Greengate and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Environmental health officers from Newham council inspect food businesses in Greengate. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. In London, kitchens are normally cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier.
Where a hall near St Andrew's Church, or anywhere in Greengate, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. School kitchens, at schools like Southern Road Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
