Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Putney Vale
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Send a few pictures of the canopy and filters when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and you will have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Putney Vale, typically within one working day. Typical jobs include heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and grease smells coming from the extract, on canopies and hoods, discharge points and plenums and filters. When a restaurant in Putney Vale asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
A clean in Putney Vale 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 Putney Vale 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.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Why act early in Putney Vale
TR19® is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. For a site in Putney Vale, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Expect the work in Putney Vale to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Grease, kitchens and Putney Vale
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 35 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 8 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Putney Vale. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service. In Putney Vale, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Kingston-Upon-Thames council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Where a hall near St John the Baptist, or anywhere in Putney Vale, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Southside House, about 1.5 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Putney Vale; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Putney Vale is about 2 miles north-west of Wimbledon, in Greater London.

The nearest railway station is Raynes Park station, roughly 2 miles south-east of the centre.

What we are called out for in Putney Vale
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Hall School Wimbledon, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What your quote should include
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- What hours they’ll be on site
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date isn’t missed.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Putney Vale
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Common questions in Putney Vale
What do you need to know about parking in Putney Vale?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Putney Vale makes the visit easier to plan. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Putney Vale?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers Putney Vale. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
