About our kitchen extract cleaning in The Burroughs
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and canopies and hoods, and people most often call us about poor airflow at the canopy and grease smells coming from the extract. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in The Burroughs, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork, wherever you are in Greater London.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in The Burroughs is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as pictures. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.

When to call us in The Burroughs
A kitchen in The Burroughs builds up grease in the same places as any other: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St Joseph's Catholic Primary School or anywhere near The Burroughs, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Why act early in The Burroughs
A clogged extract does not only raise the fire risk. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. Every month a London system goes without attention adds to what has to be done later.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Kitchen extract cleaning in The Burroughs: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records list about 181 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 120 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of The Burroughs. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too. The Burroughs is covered by London Fire Brigade. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Andrew's Hospital (about 1.9 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Mary's Church or elsewhere in The Burroughs, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
The Burroughs is about 2 miles south-east of Burnt Oak, in Greater London. Anywhere in NW4, we can carry out kitchen extract cleaning at your premises. We cover 764 places across Greater London, from busy centres to quieter spots. For sites nearby, see our London page (8 miles or so).

How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. In The Burroughs, as across London, we typically work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- 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.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Advice
What affects the quote in The Burroughs
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition we find in the survey
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Common questions in The Burroughs
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in The Burroughs?
That is 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.
Can a school canteen extract in The Burroughs be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around The Burroughs, the Food Standards Agency lists about 43 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll fit the work in.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. TR19 is the industry benchmark for meeting that duty in a kitchen extract, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. If pictures aren’t enough, we’ll survey first.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
When the kitchen is closed, at whatever time suits you. The equipment is switched off and left to cool, and we hand the kitchen back ready for the next service.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll usually reply within one working day.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Is The Burroughs in your area?
Yes. We cover The Burroughs and the rest of Greater London, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
