Kitchen extract cleaning across Perivale

How the visit works

Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Perivale.

  1. First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
  2. We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
  3. After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
  4. The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
  5. Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
  • Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Kitchen extract cleaning in Perivale, done properly

The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report and extra access panels can be added. Typical jobs include an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and stale cooking odours from the system, on plenums and filters, extract fans and horizontal duct runs. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Perivale start: a system that’s clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.

The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, which is why a TR19® clean in Perivale goes well beyond the canopy.

London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Perivale 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.

Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How the job changes from site to site

Canopy and plenum

The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, including the filter housing.

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.

Perivale questions

Do you work at weekends in Perivale?

Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Perivale does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.

Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Perivale?

Food hygiene inspections in Perivale are carried out by Ealing council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.

Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?

TR19® itself isn’t 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.

How much notice should we give?

It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.

How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?

It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. We will recommend a date after measuring the grease.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.

How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?

Allow as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.

What should I send you?

Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Perivale

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.

For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Perivale

Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.

Clients typically contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Poor airflow at the canopy
  • Missing paperwork after a change of operator
  • Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
  • Fat running down the canopy edge

Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Perivale is Clementine Churchill Hospital, about 1.9 miles north.

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
  • Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
  • What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
  • What records you’ll receive afterwards

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

When it’s something else

We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:

  • An undersized canopy or fan
  • Damaged duct sections that need replacing
  • A fan motor that has burnt out

If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.

Parts of the system we cover

  • Canopies and hoods
  • Discharge points
  • Extract fans
  • Horizontal duct runs
  • Vertical risers
  • Plenums and filters

What affects the quote in Perivale

We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:

  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
  • Where the site is and how we reach it
  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
  • How many systems or sites are involved

No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Asking for a quote

When you contact us, it’s useful to have:

  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

We don’t publish a 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 start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Grease, kitchens and Perivale

Food Standards Agency records list about 174 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 120 takeaways and sandwich shops across Perivale and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Perivale is covered by 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. In London, kitchens are usually cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier.

If you cook for passing trade around South Greenford station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Church and community hall kitchens, near St. Mary with St. Nicholas - Perivale or anywhere around Perivale, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Perivale is about 1 mile east of Greenford, in Greater London. Whatever kind of site you run in Perivale, we can take on kitchen extract cleaning. We can work out of hours so trading isn’t interrupted. Perivale is one of 764 towns, villages and districts in Greater London where we work for commercial clients. London is in our area too, about 10 miles from Perivale.

We work across UB6, HA0 and W5 for kitchen extract cleaning and the roads nearby.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

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.

Staff cleaning does not 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.
