Norbiton kitchen extract cleaning
Need kitchen extract cleaning in Norbiton? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around your hours, then sign off with a report and photos.
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
Every clean ends with a photo report. 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.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Norbiton
A closed kitchen isn’t earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. We are often asked to deal with a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer and years of baked-on grease in the ducts, across canopies and hoods, vertical risers and plenums and filters. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Norbiton covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, so that’s where most of the work in Norbiton goes.
Kitchens in Norbiton, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Norbiton?
A kitchen in Norbiton builds up grease in the same places as any other: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Kingston Hospital (about within half a mile north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Why deal with it now?
Every week without a clean adds another layer. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean right away. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. For a site in Norbiton, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Grease, kitchens and Norbiton
Look up Norbiton on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 296 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 86 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Norbiton. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Food hygiene inspections in Norbiton are the job of Kingston-Upon-Thames council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Norbiton sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
For schools such as St Paul's CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Where a hall near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Norbiton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

When something else is needed
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It does not solve:
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A broken extract fan that will not run
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

FAQs for Norbiton
Can the work in Norbiton be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Norbiton needn’t be disturbed. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Norbiton?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Norbiton. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Where there are not enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
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 an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What happens on the day
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Norbiton.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
