Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Greenhill
Any kitchen we clean in Greenhill gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. Typical jobs include a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and ductwork thick with old, hardened grease, across horizontal duct runs, discharge points and canopies and hoods. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but in Greenhill, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
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.
In a London area like Greenhill, 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, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Greenhill
In Greenhill, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
What we are most often called out for:
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
If you run a café or takeaway near Harrow-on-the-Hill station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

Greenhill kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 23 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels and B&Bs registered in Greenhill and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Harrow council inspect food businesses in Greenhill. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. In London, kitchens are normally cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St John the Baptist, or anywhere in Greenhill, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Greenhill is Northwick Park Hospital, about 0.7 miles south-east.

Common questions in Greenhill
Which fire authority looks after Greenhill?
That’s London Fire Brigade. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can a school canteen extract in Greenhill be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 12 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Greenhill. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you quote from pictures?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Is Greenhill in your area?
Yes. Greenhill is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.

It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Greenhill needs from us.
- 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.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- 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
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear the space around the work

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Greenhill
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The condition of the system
- The times the site is available
- The size of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
