Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Kenton
Any kitchen we clean in Kenton gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. The work covers vertical risers, discharge points and plenums and filters, and the jobs we see most are stale cooking odours from the system and fat running down the canopy edge. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but in Kenton, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, which is why a TR19® clean in Kenton goes well beyond the canopy.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Kenton 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 are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Why act early in Kenton
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. Every month a London system goes without attention adds to what has to be done later.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Why us?
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- We diagnose before we treat
- A written report with pictures after every visit

What a clean will not put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Kenton
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and from there it travels on to the fan.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
If you cook for passing trade around Kenton station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a written report and photos are included

- Whether the quote shows VAT

Kitchen extract cleaning around Kenton
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 24 pubs, bars and clubs and about 4 hotels and B&Bs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Kenton. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Kenton is covered by London Fire Brigade. 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. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too.
School kitchens, at schools like St Gregory's Catholic Science College for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St. Mark's Hospital about 0.9 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Wash or exchange the filters often
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
