Kitchen Extract Cleaning in Hurlingham
Kitchen extract cleaning for Hurlingham, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Hurlingham
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That film is fuel, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. The work covers vertical risers, extract fans and canopies and hoods, and people most often call us about a system with no record of a TR19 clean and grease dripping from the canopy or filters. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Hurlingham start: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
Kitchens in Hurlingham, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Hurlingham
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
Where a hall near St Dionis, or anywhere in Hurlingham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What your quote should include
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether a survey comes first
What affects the quote in Hurlingham
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The postcode and the type of business
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. We clean both inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service isn’t an option for most restaurants and pubs. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Hurlingham: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records include about 100 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 38 hotels and guest houses across Hurlingham and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service. It’s Hammersmith and Fulham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hurlingham. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Sulivan Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A kitchen near Imperial Wharf station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

How it works
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. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Expect the work in Hurlingham to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- 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.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part 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
- Clear the space around the work
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Hurlingham: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Hurlingham?
The local authority for Hurlingham is Hammersmith and Fulham council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Hurlingham out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 58 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Hurlingham. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll fit the work in.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
What do I get after the clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not put right:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
