Kitchen extracts in Loughborough Junction
The Food Standards Agency lists about 119 pubs and bars and about 10 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Loughborough Junction. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. The fire and rescue service for Loughborough Junction is London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Lambeth council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Loughborough Junction. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
For kitchens close to Loughborough Junction station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Matthew's Camberwell or anywhere around Loughborough Junction, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Loughborough Junction
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Loughborough Junction give you that record for the maintenance log. If you have an extract that no longer clears the smoke and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, we can put it right. When a restaurant in Loughborough Junction asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that’s our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
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.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. In Loughborough Junction, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

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. Once we’re 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. In a London area like Loughborough Junction, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- 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
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as pictures. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
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.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The times the site is available
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How big the system is
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.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The postcode and the type of business
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
Common problems we fix in Loughborough Junction
The reason for all this is fire. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. That’s why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Giles' Hospital (about 1 mile north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Questions to ask before booking
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the figure could change on the day
What the work involves, part by part
Ductwork and risers
Long flat runs of duct are where grease collects. Each run is cleaned through its access panels, recording any that can’t be reached.
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that don’t.
Questions from Loughborough Junction
Can school kitchens in Loughborough Junction be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Loughborough Junction, the Food Standards Agency lists about 86 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
Do you work overnight in Loughborough Junction?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Loughborough Junction needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How much notice do you need?
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.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few photos plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
How long will the clean take?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. As a guide, it takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system.
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.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
