Kitchen duct cleaning in Roxbourne
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and grease settles in every one of them. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. If you have an extract that no longer clears the smoke and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19, we can help, from canopies and hoods, horizontal duct runs and discharge points onwards. When a restaurant in Roxbourne asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that’s exactly what we do: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Roxbourne: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Roxbourne is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Roxbourne: your questions answered
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Roxbourne in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Roxbourne, the Food Standards Agency lists about 21 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which environmental health team covers Roxbourne?
Food hygiene inspections in Roxbourne are carried out by Hillingdon council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will normally reply within one working day.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19 isn’t written into law, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Problems your staff have spotted
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What a clean won’t put right
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
- Discharge points
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
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 is not missed.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
Kitchen extract cleaning around Roxbourne
Look up Roxbourne on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 184 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 104 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Roxbourne. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. Food hygiene inspections in Roxbourne are the job of Hillingdon council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected.
A hospital like Clementine Churchill Hospital, about 2.3 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Church and community hall kitchens, near St. Andrew’s Church or anywhere around Roxbourne, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as The Moriah Jewish Day School or anywhere near Roxbourne, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

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 is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Roxbourne.
- We survey the system, from your pictures 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.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Roxbourne
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

How the job changes from site to site
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and put back so they seat correctly. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
