TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in St Ann's
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. The certificate and photo report from each clean in St Ann's give you that record for the maintenance log. If you have extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and poor airflow at the canopy, we can put it right. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from St Ann's start: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
We clean every reachable part of the system in St Ann's: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in St Ann's 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.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in St Ann's.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- 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.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Advice
Grease, kitchens and St Ann's
The Food Standards Agency lists about 43 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels and guest houses as registered food businesses across St Ann's and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. In St Ann's, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Haringey council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Ann's CE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to St Ann's is City of London Maternity Hospital, about 1.7 miles south-west.

For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
When something else is needed
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It won’t put right:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in St Ann's
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- The size of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The postcode and the type of business
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
When to call us in St Ann's
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so those sections were never reached. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Ann's Church or elsewhere in St Ann's, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
St Ann's questions
Do you work overnight in St Ann's?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Which fire service covers St Ann's?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for St Ann's. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. As a guide, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Is St Ann's in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, St Ann's included.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
Our work is to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, and certificates go through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. We’ve been trading since 2009.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
