Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Poundsbridge
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and each part collects grease. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. If you have a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction, we can put it right. When a restaurant in Poundsbridge asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is exactly what we do: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
For a kitchen in or near Poundsbridge, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
Why it’s worth doing now in Poundsbridge
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, and that takes more work to shift. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable. In a small place like Poundsbridge, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Poundsbridge
Can you come to Poundsbridge after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Poundsbridge?
It’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Poundsbridge. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you cover Poundsbridge?
Yes. We work in Poundsbridge and the rest of Kent, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Poundsbridge
The reason for all this is fire. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. For a kitchen in Poundsbridge, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Fat running down the canopy edge
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near All Souls Chapel or elsewhere in Poundsbridge, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Questions to ask before booking
- What paperwork you get at the end
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What insurance they carry
How it works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. For a village or hamlet like Poundsbridge, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- 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
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
