TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in North Cheam
Any kitchen we clean in North Cheam gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. If you have a kitchen taken over without any extract records and rancid smells from grease in the duct, we can help, from extract fans, canopies and hoods and vertical risers onwards. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in North Cheam covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
In a London area like North Cheam, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, 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.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover

Why act early in North Cheam
If your kitchen in North Cheam is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. The job takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits, and we fit around your opening hours. Waiting only adds grease and risk. Every month a London system goes without attention adds to what has to be done later.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What happens on the day
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 a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in North Cheam needs from us.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before we start.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.

London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.

Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 28 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of North Cheam, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.

Grease, kitchens and North Cheam
Food Standards Agency data counts about 200 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 96 takeaways in and around North Cheam, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too. It’s Sutton council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in North Cheam. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run a café or takeaway near West Sutton station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Oswald Church or anywhere around North Cheam, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Cheam Park Farm Primary Academy, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. Cleans are done after close, overnight or before opening.
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
