Kitchen extract cleaning in Little Stanmore, Greater London
TR19 grease cleaning of complete kitchen extract systems, from canopy to discharge for Little Stanmore, with a survey first and a report with photos at the end. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Little Stanmore
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. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. We are often asked to deal with an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and grease smells coming from the extract, across vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and extract fans. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, it’s the job we do every week across Greater London.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Little Stanmore: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. For a kitchen in Little Stanmore, that usually means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
We have 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.

What else we do in Little Stanmore
Kitchen extract cleaning in Little Stanmore: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records include about 16 bars, pubs and nightclubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Little Stanmore. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. London Fire Brigade covers Little Stanmore. 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. Environmental health officers from Harrow council inspect food businesses in Little Stanmore. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Headstone Manor is about 3.1 miles west), access may need planning. For schools such as Krishna Avanti Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Little Stanmore is about 1 mile south-east of Stanmore, in Greater London.

What a clean will not put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Little Stanmore.
- 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.
- 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
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Move anything stored near the system

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Little Stanmore?
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. For a kitchen in Little Stanmore, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Lawrence, or anywhere in Little Stanmore, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether VAT is included
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Little Stanmore and across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How easy every part is to reach
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- What state the system is in
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The postcode and the type of business
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
Little Stanmore questions
Who inspects food businesses in Little Stanmore?
Kitchens in Little Stanmore are inspected by Harrow council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Little Stanmore during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 29 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Little Stanmore. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Can you quote from pictures?
In many cases, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
Is Little Stanmore in your area?
Yes. We cover Little Stanmore and the rest of Greater London, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
