TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Hackney Wick
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you have extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and a kitchen taken over without any extract records, we can put it right. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Hackney Wick? We’ve been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
A clean in Hackney Wick 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 Hackney Wick is normally done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Kitchen extracts in Hackney Wick
Food Standards Agency data counts about 428 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 148 takeaways and sandwich shops in Hackney Wick and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading is not affected. Kitchens in Hackney Wick get their food hygiene inspections from Tower Hamlets council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Where a hall near St Mary of Eton, or anywhere in Hackney Wick, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Mossbourne Riverside Academy or anywhere near Hackney Wick, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

When to call us in Hackney Wick
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
Clients usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
If you cook for passing trade around Hackney Wick station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.
Questions to ask before you book
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- What insurance they carry
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether a written report and pictures are included

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, and equipment can be switched back on once we have gone.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, clear away 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. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Hackney Wick needs from us.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

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, next to our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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.
Questions from Hackney Wick
Who is the fire and rescue service for Hackney Wick?
Fire safety enforcement in Hackney Wick is handled by London Fire Brigade. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can parking be tricky for a job in Hackney Wick?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Hackney Wick makes the visit easier to plan. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit typically gets round them.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What affects the quote in Hackney Wick
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: 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.
