TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in The Hyde
Any kitchen we clean in The Hyde gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. Typical jobs include ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, across vertical risers, discharge points and extract fans. When a restaurant in The Hyde asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, with grease readings setting the real interval.
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 The Hyde, that typically means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in The Hyde.
- 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.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
Advice
Managing agents and facilities teams in The Hyde
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in The Hyde?
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St Andrew's Hospital is the nearest hospital to The Hyde, about 1.5 miles south-east.
What your quote should include
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the price is fixed
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Kitchen extracts in The Hyde
Look up The Hyde on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 178 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 120 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central The Hyde. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. London Fire Brigade covers The Hyde. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Environmental health officers from Brent council inspect food businesses in The Hyde. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
School kitchens, at schools like The Hyde School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Matthias the Apostle church or elsewhere in The Hyde, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

The Hyde: your questions answered
How do you handle parking and loading in The Hyde?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in The Hyde, and about any building rules on loading. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for The Hyde?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers The Hyde. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will normally reply within one working day.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, which grease thickness testing will show.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Often, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
What do I get after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
Leave it or put it right?
TR19® isn’t law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.
