Kitchen extract cleaning in Hanworth, Greater London
Kitchen extract cleaning across Hanworth and nearby, booked around your opening hours and signed off in writing with pictures.
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Poor airflow at the canopy
Why deal with it now?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. In Hanworth, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What you get with us
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Survey first, then a fixed quote

How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Hanworth
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. We are often asked to deal with a kitchen taken over without any extract records and rancid smells from grease in the duct, on extract fans, plenums and filters and discharge points. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Hanworth covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
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.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Hanworth is normally done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Kitchen extract cleaning around Hanworth
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 15 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Hanworth. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too. Kitchens in Hanworth get their food hygiene inspections from Richmond-Upon-Thames council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Buckingham Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Historic houses near Hanworth, such as Strawberry Hill House about 2 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Hanworth is usually out of hours.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The scale of the work
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
You get a photo report after every clean. Before and after photos show each part of the system, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. 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.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Hanworth?
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 nobody could get to them. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
A hospital like Teddington Memorial Hospital, about 1.8 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- What insurance they carry
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

Hanworth: your questions answered
Which fire authority looks after Hanworth?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers Hanworth. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you work overnight in Hanworth?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Hanworth can fit around your hours. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. As a guide, it takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
Honest limits
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.
