TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Old Chiswick
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That layer will burn, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. The work covers plenums and filters, horizontal duct runs and discharge points, and common reasons people get in touch are cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and a system with no record of a TR19 clean. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Old Chiswick start: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
A clean in Old Chiswick 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 Old Chiswick is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What staff can safely do
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. Leave those to us.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. In Old Chiswick, as across London, we normally work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before work begins.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- 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
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Any food business in Old Chiswick can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. A clean extract is one less thing to worry about on the day. Choosing the date yourself beats having a fault choose it for you.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Plenums and filters
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
Part by part
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Old Chiswick?
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
If you run a café or takeaway near Chiswick station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

What affects the quote in Old Chiswick
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How big the system is
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Parking and loading at the site
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
If you need kitchen extract cleaning in Old Chiswick, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.

Which council inspects kitchens in Old Chiswick?

Grease, kitchens and Old Chiswick
Food Standards Agency records list about 474 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 94 takeaways in and around Old Chiswick, up to about a mile and a half out. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too. The fire and rescue service for Old Chiswick is London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
School kitchens, at schools like The William Hogarth Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St. Nicholas Church, or anywhere in Old Chiswick, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
