Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Harrow Weald
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and grease settles in every one of them. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. If you have fat running down the canopy edge and an extract that no longer clears the smoke, we can help. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Harrow Weald covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
Most kitchens in Harrow Weald fall into one of BESA’s three bands: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, with grease readings setting the real interval.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. For a kitchen in Harrow Weald, that typically means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Grease, kitchens and Harrow Weald
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 15 pubs, bars and clubs across Harrow Weald and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. The fire and rescue service for Harrow Weald is London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading is not affected.
For schools such as Salvatorian Roman Catholic College, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A kitchen near Headstone Lane station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. A hospital like Northwick Park Hospital, about 2.1 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
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.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Harrow Weald questions
Who is the fire and rescue service for Harrow Weald?
Fire safety enforcement in Harrow Weald is handled by London Fire Brigade. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Is parking a problem for work in Harrow Weald?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
When do you clean the extract?
Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. The equipment is switched off and left to cool, and we hand the kitchen back ready for the next service.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. As a guide, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
