Kitchen duct cleaning in Toy's Hill
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. 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 canopies and hoods, extract fans and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are grease drips onto cooking equipment and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Toy's Hill, you get one team and one number for every site.
A clean in Toy's Hill covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. In Toy's Hill, 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: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What we do, step by step
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Toy's Hill is normally out of hours.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before we start.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
How to get a quote

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Wash or exchange the filters often
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Toy's Hill
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- The scale of the work
- What state the system is in
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Toy's Hill
A kitchen in Toy's Hill builds up grease in the same places as any other: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
What we are most often called out for:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
Historic houses near Toy's Hill, such as Chartwell about 1.1 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

FAQs for Toy's Hill
How do you handle parking and loading in Toy's Hill?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Toy's Hill?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers Toy's Hill. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
How long will the clean take?
It takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
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 also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. TR19 is the industry benchmark for meeting that duty in a kitchen extract, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Toy's Hill and across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
