About our kitchen extract cleaning in Roehampton
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Roehampton give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. If you have a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and years of baked-on grease in the ducts, we can help. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across Greater London.
Most kitchens in Roehampton fall into one of BESA’s three bands: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. For a kitchen in Roehampton, that typically means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Different parts, different methods
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. We will tell you if any need replacing.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. 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. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we are happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Roehampton.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It does not solve:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before booking.

Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Grease, kitchens and Roehampton
Food Standards Agency records include about 41 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Roehampton. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Environmental health officers from Wandsworth council inspect food businesses in Roehampton. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Roehampton is 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.
Commuter trade near Barnes station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. Where a hall near St Margaret's Church, or anywhere in Roehampton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Roehampton is Queen Mary's Hospital, about under half a mile west.

- The condition of the system

Why act early in Roehampton
Grease that’s left only gets thicker. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean straight away. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. It’s better booked as a planned job in Roehampton than handled as an emergency.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Common questions in Roehampton
Can parking be tricky for a job in Roehampton?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Roehampton, and about any building rules on loading. Working overnight, as we often do in London, normally makes it simpler.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Roehampton out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 21 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Roehampton. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Often, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
When the kitchen is closed, at whatever time suits you. We need the equipment cool, and we leave the kitchen ready to cook.
What accreditations do you hold?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
Under BESA guidance, the minimum depends on how long you cook each day: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
