About our kitchen extract cleaning in Roundshaw
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Any section we cannot reach is recorded on the report and extra access panels can be added. The work covers extract fans, plenums and filters and horizontal duct runs, and the jobs we see most are an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and stale cooking odours from the system. When a restaurant in Roundshaw asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, 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: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, with grease readings setting the real interval.
Kitchens in Roundshaw, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What staff can safely do
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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Grease, kitchens and Roundshaw
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 17 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 6 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Roundshaw. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. The fire and rescue service for Roundshaw is London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Sutton council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Roundshaw. 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.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Purley War Memorial Hospital about 1.2 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Wallington Primary Academy or anywhere near Roundshaw, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St. Paul's, or anywhere in Roundshaw, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Roundshaw is about 2 miles south-west of Croydon, in Greater London. We carry out kitchen extract cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in Roundshaw and the rest of Greater London. Roundshaw is one of 764 places in Greater London where we work for commercial clients. There’s also a page for London, roughly 10 miles from Roundshaw.

Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, and equipment can be switched back on once we have gone.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The times the site is available
- How easy every part is to reach
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, and that 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 Roundshaw.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before we start.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Move anything stored near the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Leave it or put it right?
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A certificate in the file answers that question. A booked night’s work in Roundshaw costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What the work involves, part by part
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that cannot be reached.
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, and grease can collect there too. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Roundshaw
Which council inspects kitchens in Roundshaw?
The local authority for Roundshaw is Sutton council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can parking be tricky for a job in Roundshaw?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Roundshaw, and about any building rules on loading. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit usually gets round them.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before work begins.
