Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Thames View Estate
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Thames View Estate give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. We’re often asked to deal with cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and grease dripping from the canopy or filters, on discharge points, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across Greater London.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
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. In Thames View Estate, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

How it works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Thames View Estate.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What else we do in Thames View Estate
Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Common problems we fix in Thames View Estate
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and from there it travels on to the fan.
What we are most often called out for:
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Barking Community Hospital about 0.8 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning will not do:
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- A canopy that is 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’ll tell you honestly.

Grease, kitchens and Thames View Estate
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 7 pubs and bars and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Thames View Estate. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. It’s Barking and Dagenham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Thames View Estate. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Thames View Estate falls to London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Thames View Infants, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Christ Church or elsewhere in Thames View Estate, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date isn’t missed.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Thames View Estate
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The scale of the work
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Thames View Estate
What do you need to know about parking in Thames View Estate?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Which fire service covers Thames View Estate?
Fire safety enforcement in Thames View Estate is handled by 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.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
We’re members of Vent Hygiene Elite, the scheme run by BESCA, and we clean to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
No law names TR19 directly, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where necessary.
