Kitchen extraction cleaning in Northfields
We cover Northfields for kitchen extract cleaning. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with photos as standard.
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
When to call us in Northfields
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Grease smells coming from the extract
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Boston Manor is about 0.5 miles south), access may need planning.
What your quote should include
- When the next visit should be, and why
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- What insurance they carry
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Northfields
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or 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. Common call-outs are for fat running down the canopy edge and an extract that no longer clears the smoke, across vertical risers, discharge points and canopies and hoods. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Northfields covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
A clean in Northfields covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Northfields is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What happens on the day
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 are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Before any visit in Northfields, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

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.

Northfields kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 87 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 13 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Northfields. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. It’s Ealing council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Northfields. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. In London, kitchens are normally cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Ealing Hospital is the nearest hospital to Northfields, about 1.4 miles west. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Mount Carmel Catholic Primary School or anywhere near Northfields, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Northfields: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for Northfields?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Northfields. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can the work in Northfields be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Northfields can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Northfields?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before any work starts.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Do you work in Northfields?
Yes. Our technicians work in Northfields, within the South East and London area we cover.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where needed.
Can you quote from photos?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
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.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What affects the quote in Northfields
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The scale of the work
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether several sites go on one quote
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
