Why it’s worth doing now in Swiss Cottage
An overdue clean in Swiss Cottage is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. The job takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you don’t lose a service. Waiting only adds grease and risk. In Swiss Cottage, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What you get with us
- Trading since 2009
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001

Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Swiss Cottage
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in Swiss Cottage, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. We’re often asked to deal with grease drips onto cooking equipment and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history, on discharge points, canopies and hoods and horizontal duct runs. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Swiss Cottage normally mean the kitchen extract, and that is our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Swiss Cottage is normally done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Kitchen extracts in Swiss Cottage
Food Standards Agency data counts about 625 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 265 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Swiss Cottage. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. Swiss Cottage sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Souls or elsewhere in Swiss Cottage, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Commuter trade near South Hampstead station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Swiss Cottage is Hospital of St John and St Elizabeth, about 0.7 miles south.

Questions from Swiss Cottage
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Swiss Cottage?
Kitchens in Swiss Cottage are inspected by Camden council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you work at weekends in Swiss Cottage?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Swiss Cottage does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, and readings will tell you.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
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, and we can quote to improve the access.

The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How big the system is
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- What state the system is in
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.

- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, including the filter housing.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. We plan the clean around meal times and work in a contained, tidy way, so residents and patients aren’t disturbed.
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. For a job in Swiss Cottage, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, 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
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
