Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in South Ealing
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. The certificate and photo report from each clean in South Ealing give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. If you have a kitchen taken over without any extract records and grease drips onto cooking equipment, we can put it right, from canopies and hoods, plenums and filters and horizontal duct runs onwards. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, it’s the job we do every week across Greater London.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
Kitchens in South Ealing, 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, which can put them in BESA’s 3 or 6-monthly bands. We clean after close or before opening.
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- An undersized canopy or fan
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Questions from South Ealing
Which council inspects kitchens in South Ealing?
Food hygiene inspections in South Ealing are carried out by Ealing council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Is parking a problem for work in South Ealing?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Working overnight, as we often do in London, usually makes it simpler.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Allow one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
We clean every part the grease travels through. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where necessary.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. Without proof, a claim can be refused or reduced, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. In South Ealing, as across London, we normally work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear the space around the work
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, and equipment can be switched back on once we have gone.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.
What affects the quote in South Ealing
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The size of the system
- The times the site is available
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Parking and loading at the site
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Common problems we fix in South Ealing
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and from there it travels on to the fan.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
If you cook for passing trade around Brentford station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Kitchen extract cleaning in South Ealing: the local picture
The Food Standards Agency lists about 87 pubs and bars and about 13 hotels and guest houses as registered food businesses in and around South Ealing, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. The fire and rescue service for South Ealing is London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Ealing Hospital about 1.7 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Mary's Church or elsewhere in South Ealing, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Why it’s worth doing now in South Ealing
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. A booked night’s work in South Ealing costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will talk you through it.
