Kitchen extract cleaning in Streatham Park, done properly
A closed kitchen isn’t earning, so the timing of a clean matters. 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. Typical jobs include a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and a system with no record of a TR19 clean, on extract fans, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Streatham Park covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, with grease readings setting the real interval.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Streatham Park is normally done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
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, and we are fully insured.

When something else is needed
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, and equipment can be switched back on once we’ve gone.
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.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Streatham Park is no exception.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Kitchen extract cleaning around Streatham Park
Look up Streatham Park on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 418 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 113 sandwich bars and takeaways across Streatham Park and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Streatham Park is covered by London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
For schools such as St Leonard's Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Parish Church of St Alban or elsewhere in Streatham Park, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Common questions in Streatham Park
Which fire authority looks after Streatham Park?
That’s London Fire Brigade. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can the work in Streatham Park be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Streatham Park does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you call 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Why act early in Streatham Park
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. In Streatham Park, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Streatham Park
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
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.
When to call us in Streatham Park
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
Look out for any of the following:
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
A kitchen near Streatham station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What paperwork you get at the end
- What hours they’ll be on site
