TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Norwood Green
Kitchen extract cleaning across Norwood Green and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and signed off in writing with photos.
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
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.
Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Norwood Green
We have been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. If you are dealing with an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and a system with no record of a TR19 clean, we can help. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across Greater London.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and readings afterwards go into your report.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Norwood Green is typically done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
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, you get a fixed price before we start.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Norwood Green
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs
Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date isn’t missed.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
Norwood Green: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Norwood Green?
The local authority for Norwood Green is Ealing council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Norwood Green during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 40 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Norwood Green. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where needed.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19 isn’t written into law, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
When do you clean the extract?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, working evenings, overnight or at weekends to suit you. Equipment needs to be off and cool before any work starts.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Before any visit in Norwood Green, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Norwood Green kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 29 pubs and bars and about 5 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Norwood Green. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Norwood Green sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Osterley House is about 0.6 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Norwood Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Bernard's Hospital about 1 mile north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Norwood Green is about 1 mile south-east of Southall, in Greater London.
