Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Parkgate
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. For a kitchen in Parkgate, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. The work covers horizontal duct runs, discharge points and canopies and hoods, and common reasons people get in touch are grease dripping from the canopy or filters and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but in Parkgate, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
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.
Somewhere as small as Parkgate, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and we clear up before we go. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Parkgate before we set off.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- 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.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Advice
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Parkgate
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Parking and loading at the site
- What state the system is in
- The size of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
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 details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your last certificate, test record or report
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form 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 normally come back within one working day.
Why it’s worth doing now in Parkgate
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. With notice, the visit to Parkgate can be fitted around your bookings and events.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
Why book with us
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
When to call us in Parkgate
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so those sections were never reached. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
Clients typically contact us when they notice something like this:
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Stale cooking odours from the system
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Langley Green Hospital (about 5.1 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

FAQs for Parkgate
Do you cover smaller places like Parkgate?
Yes. Parkgate is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you come to Parkgate after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Parkgate does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19® itself is not law. 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 does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
It takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. We will confirm the time when we quote.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Parkgate?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
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.
