Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Isleworth
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers canopies and hoods, extract fans and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are a kitchen taken over without any extract records and fat running down the canopy edge. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in Isleworth it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Isleworth 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we’re happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Isleworth.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
Kitchen extract cleaning around Isleworth
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 65 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 13 hotels and B&Bs across Isleworth and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. London Fire Brigade covers Isleworth. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as West Middlesex University Hospital (about within half a mile north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Isleworth, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Isleworth is about 2 miles north of Twickenham, in Greater London. Anywhere in TW7, we cover kitchen extract cleaning for commercial sites. Our area takes in 764 places across Greater London, from busy centres to quieter spots. London is in our area too, about 10 miles from Isleworth.
All of TW7, TW1 and TW3 is within our area for kitchen extract cleaning, from the main roads to the quietest streets. You’ll find streets such as Upper Square, London Road and Shire Horse Way, all of which we cover for kitchen extract cleaning. If your site is just outside Isleworth, we cover Woodlands (1 mile west), St Margarets (1 mile south-east), Ivybridge (1 mile south-west), Spring Grove (1 mile north-west) and Hounslow (1 mile west). Within a short drive, we also cover London (10 miles east), City of Westminster (8 miles east), Marylebone (9 miles north-east), Kensington (6 miles east), St Pancras (10 miles north-east) and Shoreditch (12 miles east).
Local landmarks in Isleworth
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around The George Inn, Kneller Hall Junior School and Gumley House RC Convent School and the streets around them. Isleworth has its own railway station: Isleworth station. Other landmarks nearby include West Middlesex University Hospital (under half a mile north-east) and Museum of Army Music (1.4 miles south-west). Not far away are Richmond Hill and Kew Gardens Lake.
Common questions in Isleworth
Who inspects food businesses in Isleworth?
That is Hounslow council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Isleworth. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can parking be tricky for a job in Isleworth?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. If the building has a loading slot system, we’ll book into it.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we’ll survey first.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
Do you work in Isleworth?
Yes. We work in Isleworth and across Greater London, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
It takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. We will confirm the time when we quote.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Leave it or put it right?
Every week without a clean adds another layer. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. Planning ahead in Isleworth lets you pick a quiet night rather than lose a busy one.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Isleworth
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so nobody could get to them. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
If you run a café or takeaway near Isleworth station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
What to look for in a quote

What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- An undersized canopy or fan
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on in Isleworth

Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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 is our job.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
