Part by part
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Temple Fortune
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That layer will burn, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. If you have a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate, we can help, from plenums and filters, canopies and hoods and discharge points onwards. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, it’s the job we do every week across Greater London.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. For a kitchen in Temple Fortune, that usually means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Temple Fortune
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The scale of the work
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, and equipment can be switched back on once we have gone.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. 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.
Questions from Temple Fortune
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Temple Fortune?
That’s London Fire Brigade. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What do you need to know about parking in Temple Fortune?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
The whole system: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What accreditations do you hold?
We’re members of Vent Hygiene Elite, the scheme run by BESCA, and we clean to BESA TR19® Grease. We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we are fully insured.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. Most jobs take as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Temple Fortune is normally out of hours.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
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.
