TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Sipson
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. The work covers discharge points, extract fans and canopies and hoods, and the jobs we see most are missing paperwork after a change of operator and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Sipson? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, so that’s where most of the work in Sipson goes.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Sipson 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.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

- Damaged duct sections that need replacing

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. For a job in Sipson, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Move anything stored near the system
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the pictures. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
What we are called out for in Sipson
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so those sections were never reached. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Harlington (about under half a mile south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Kitchen extract cleaning around Sipson
Look up Sipson on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 73 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 32 sandwich bars and takeaways across Sipson and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. London jobs typically start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first. Fire safety in Sipson falls to 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.

FAQs for Sipson
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Sipson?
Fire safety enforcement in Sipson is handled by London Fire Brigade. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you come to Sipson after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Sipson?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before work begins.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
BESA guidance gives minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months, depending on daily cooking hours. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, which grease thickness testing will show.
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 hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we are fully insured.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. Most jobs take a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system.
Part by part
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
Ductwork and risers
Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. Access panels along the riser let us clean it in sections.
