TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Three Mills
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and each part collects grease. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. If you are dealing with an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, we can put it right. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in Three Mills covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
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.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. In Three Mills, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
Kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not put right:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

Three Mills: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in Three Mills?
That’s Tower Hamlets council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Three Mills. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Three Mills?
Three Mills is in the area of London Fire Brigade. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after pictures, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
Cleans are timed to avoid service. Overnight, weekend and between-service cleans are all possible, so you do not lose a service.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
The process
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. If your building in Three Mills has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Three Mills
The Food Standards Agency lists about 53 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 14 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses in and around Three Mills, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. London Fire Brigade covers Three Mills. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Three Mills get their food hygiene inspections from Tower Hamlets council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Clement's Hospital about 0.9 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. For kitchens close to West Ham station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
Three Mills is about 1 mile south of Stratford, in Greater London. If you need kitchen extract cleaning in Three Mills, please phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for a fixed quote. We work across South East England and London, including Three Mills. Across Greater London, we cover 764 places, and Three Mills is one of them.

Nearby, we also carry out kitchen extract cleaning in Mill Meads (1 mile north), Bromley (1 mile south-west), Old Ford (1 mile north-west), Bow (1 mile west) and Bow Common (1 mile south-west).

Around Three Mills
In Three Mills, that means kitchens and buildings near Manorfield Primary School, London International School of Performing Arts and Bob's Park and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is West Ham station, roughly 0.5 miles east. A little further out are Stratford Centre (1 mile north) and St Clement's Hospital (0.9 miles west). The countryside around Three Mills includes Hollow Pond and Old Ford Island.
When to call us in Three Mills
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
Look out for any of the following:
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Mary's Church or elsewhere in Three Mills, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What to look for in a quote
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How big the system is
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The site address and the type of premises
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
Any section without access is marked on the report. That’s part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
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.
Why act early in Three Mills
Any food business in Three Mills can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. A clean extract is one less thing to worry about on the day. A booked night’s work in Three Mills costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

In-house cleaning or 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. Leave those to us.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
