About our kitchen extract cleaning in Pitshanger
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you have an extract that no longer clears the smoke and grease smells coming from the extract, we can help. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Pitshanger usually mean the kitchen extract, and that’s our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, with grease readings setting the real interval.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Pitshanger is normally done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The scale of the work
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we’re happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Pitshanger.
- 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.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Pitshanger
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and it doesn’t stop until it reaches the fan.
Look out for any of the following:
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
For schools such as North Ealing Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Pitshanger: your questions answered
How do you handle parking and loading in Pitshanger?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Working overnight, as we often do in London, usually makes it simpler.
Do you work overnight in Pitshanger?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Pitshanger can fit around your hours. When you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
Under BESA guidance, the minimum depends on how long you cook each day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
In many cases, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Pitshanger
The Food Standards Agency lists about 57 pubs and bars and about 8 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Pitshanger. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service. Pitshanger sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Barnabas or anywhere around Pitshanger, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Commuter trade near Castle Bar Park station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

What’s near Pitshanger
In Pitshanger, that means kitchens and buildings near Brentham Clubhouse pub, St Benedict's School and Ealing Independent College and the streets around them.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
What the work involves, part by part
Ductwork and risers
Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. Access panels along the riser let us clean it in sections.
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.

Honest limits
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
Leave it or put it right?
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky and the fan strains to keep up. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
