What a clean will not put right

- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed

Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Strand-on-the-Green
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and grease settles in every one of them. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. If you are dealing with heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history, we can put it right, from horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and discharge points onwards. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Strand-on-the-Green? We have been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. In Strand-on-the-Green, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Strand-on-the-Green
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and from there it travels on to the fan.

- Grease smells coming from the extract
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey

Kitchen extract cleaning in Strand-on-the-Green: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 65 pubs and bars and about 10 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in and around Strand-on-the-Green, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Kitchens in Strand-on-the-Green get their food hygiene inspections from Richmond-Upon-Thames 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. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too.

A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Paul's Church or elsewhere in Strand-on-the-Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Why it’s worth doing now in Strand-on-the-Green
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. A busy site in Strand-on-the-Green builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.

Around Strand-on-the-Green, the Food Standards Agency lists about 38 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll fit the work in.
Does London parking affect a job in Strand-on-the-Green?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Strand-on-the-Green, and about any building rules on loading. If the building has a loading slot system, we’ll book into it.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
BESA guidance sets minimums by daily cooking hours: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Measured grease levels set the real interval.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Do you work in Strand-on-the-Green?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Strand-on-the-Green.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
Every clean ends with a photo report. It shows the system before and after, part by part, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. 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.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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 they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. In a London area like Strand-on-the-Green, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- 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.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.

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 are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
