About our kitchen extract cleaning in Stroud Green
We’ve been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. Common call-outs are for a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract, on discharge points, plenums and filters and horizontal duct runs. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Stroud Green, you get one team and one number for every site.
Most kitchens in Stroud Green fall into one of BESA’s three bands: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Stroud Green 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

FAQs for Stroud Green
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Stroud Green?
In Stroud Green, it’s Haringey council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Stroud Green?
Stroud Green is in the area of London Fire Brigade. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
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 needed.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
It takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
Is Stroud Green in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in Stroud Green, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Stroud Green
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
Clients typically contact us when they notice one of these:
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
A kitchen near Harringay station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
What to look for in a quote
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether VAT is included
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, which slows build-up further down the system.
What affects the quote in Stroud Green
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition we find in the survey
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The times the site is available
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
Leave it or put it right?
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 certificate in the file answers that question. London sites work long hours, and the longer a job is left, the bigger it gets.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Stroud Green saves time on the night.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
