Kitchen duct cleaning in Haverstock
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report and extra access panels can be added. If you are dealing with a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer and grease dripping from the canopy or filters, we can help. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in Haverstock it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, which is why a TR19® clean in Haverstock goes well beyond the canopy.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Haverstock is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
We’ve 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.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Why act early in Haverstock
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 certificate in the file answers that question. In Haverstock, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Haverstock.
- 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.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear loose items from the work area

Common problems we fix in Haverstock
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Haverstock, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether a written report and photos are included
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date is not missed.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.

What else we do in Haverstock
Haverstock kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 749 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 325 takeaways and sandwich shops in Haverstock 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. London jobs usually start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first. Food hygiene inspections in Haverstock are the job of Camden council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Wellington Hospital about 0.9 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. For schools such as Fine Arts College, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

How the job changes from site to site
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.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
FAQs for Haverstock
Do you work overnight in Haverstock?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Does London parking affect a job in Haverstock?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Haverstock, and about any building rules on loading. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Haverstock?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will usually reply within one working day.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What is TR19?
A BESA 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 do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
How long will the clean take?
Allow anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No law names TR19 directly, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
