Honest limits

Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:

  • A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
  • Fat blocking the kitchen drains
  • Damaged duct sections that need replacing

About our kitchen extract cleaning in Hampton Wick

A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. If you are dealing with a kitchen taken over without any extract records and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, we can help, from discharge points, vertical risers and canopies and hoods onwards. When a restaurant in Hampton Wick asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.

A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.

London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Hampton Wick is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.

Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

The process

We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job 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’re happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Hampton Wick.

  1. First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
  2. Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
  3. With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
  4. Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
  5. We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking and loading
  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Ask for a quote

Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.

What staff can safely do

Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.

A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.

What the work involves, part by part

Ductwork and risers

Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. Access panels along the riser let us clean it in sections.

Canopy and plenum

Behind the grease filters sits the plenum, which daily cleaning never reaches. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Hampton Wick

The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Kitchen extracts in Hampton Wick

The Food Standards Agency lists about 50 pubs and bars and about 6 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Hampton Wick. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. London jobs typically start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first. The fire and rescue service for Hampton Wick is London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.

Term dates shape school work: for a school like St John the Baptist Church of England Junior School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near All Saints Church, or anywhere in Hampton Wick, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Common problems we fix in Hampton Wick

We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so those sections were never reached. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.

Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Poor airflow at the canopy
  • A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
  • A kitchen taken over without any extract records
  • An inspection that picked up a dirty extract

A hospital like Kingston Hospital, about 1.1 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

What your quote should include

  • Whether VAT is included
  • What insurance they carry
  • Whether the price is fixed
  • Whether the work can be done while the site is closed

Choosing a duct cleaning contractor

How we price kitchen extract cleaning

The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:

  • Any permits to work or inductions
  • The number of sites or systems
  • One-off work versus a regular cycle
  • The condition of the system

When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

What to send for a quote

Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:

  • Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • The site address and the type of premises
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

FAQs for Hampton Wick

Can parking be tricky for a job in Hampton Wick?

We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Working overnight, as we often do in London, normally makes it simpler.

Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Hampton Wick?

Fire safety enforcement in Hampton Wick is handled by London Fire Brigade. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.

Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?

We clean while the kitchen is closed, so evenings, overnight, early mornings and weekends are all options. We need the equipment switched off and cooled first.

Do you work with multi-site operators?

Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Is TR19 a legal requirement?

No law names TR19 directly, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.

How far ahead should we book?

That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.

Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?

Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.

Do you work in Hampton Wick?

Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Hampton Wick included.
