Leave it or put it right?
TR19® is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Nash
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers horizontal duct runs, plenums and filters and vertical risers, and common reasons people get in touch are grease dripping from the canopy or filters and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, in Nash it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
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.
In a London area like Nash, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Nash
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends

A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
For kitchen extract cleaning in Nash, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
What we are called out for in Nash
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. For a kitchen in Nash, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
Clients usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Princess Royal University Hospital is the nearest hospital to Nash, about 1.8 miles east.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Nash
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 9 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Nash. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Fire safety in Nash falls to London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Nash get their food hygiene inspections from Bromley council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Down House is about 2.4 miles south-east), access may need planning. For schools such as Wickham Common Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

How it works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. In Nash, as across London, we typically work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site 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.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Nash
Can parking be tricky for a job in Nash?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Nash?
In Nash, it’s Bromley 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 is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
Our work is to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, and certificates go through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. We’ve been trading since 2009.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
When it’s something else
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
