Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Ivybridge
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so those sections were never reached. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as South Middlesex Hospital (about less than half a mile south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Questions to ask before booking
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- What records you will receive afterwards
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
Kitchen duct cleaning in Ivybridge
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and each part collects grease. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Common call-outs are for a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract, on extract fans, vertical risers and plenums and filters. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across Greater London.
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 the same readings after the clean show the result.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Ivybridge is typically done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Ivybridge questions
Which fire service covers Ivybridge?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers Ivybridge. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Ivybridge?
In Ivybridge, it’s Hounslow council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No law names TR19 directly, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. Most jobs take a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Ivybridge
The Food Standards Agency lists about 52 pubs and bars and about 7 hotels and guest houses as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Ivybridge. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading is not affected. Food hygiene inspections in Ivybridge are the job of Hounslow council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Richmond House is about 1.1 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. A kitchen near Twickenham station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
Ivybridge is about 1 mile south-east of Hounslow, in Greater London. We provide kitchen extract cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Ivybridge and the rest of Greater London. Across Greater London, we cover 764 places, Ivybridge among them. London is in our area too, around 11 miles away.
Work in TW7, TW1 and TW2 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. Kitchen extract cleaning is available to premises on Hall Road, Rugby Road and Mogden Lane and the roads around them. Other places close to Ivybridge include Hounslow (1 mile north-west), Woodlands (1 mile north), Twickenham (1 mile south), Isleworth (1 mile north-east) and St Margarets (1 mile east).

What’s near Ivybridge
Typical jobs here are in premises near The Richmond upon Thames School, Inwood Park and Duke of Cambridge pub and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Twickenham station, roughly 0.8 miles south-east of the centre. Nearby you will also find South Middlesex Hospital (within half a mile south-east) and Treaty Centre (1.2 miles north-west). The countryside around Ivybridge includes Richmond Hill and Garden Lake.
What a clean won’t put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
- Discharge points
- Vertical risers
Why deal with it now?
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky, while the fan works harder to move less air. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. In Ivybridge, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. 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, next to our reports.
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Ivybridge is no exception.
- 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.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
