How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Upton Park
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. We are often asked to deal with a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs, across horizontal duct runs, discharge points and extract fans. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Upton Park? We have been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
Most kitchens in Upton Park fall into one of BESA’s three bands: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. In Upton Park, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.
How it works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. In Upton Park, as across London, we normally 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.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before work begins.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Clear the space around the work

When to call us in Upton Park
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Eastbury Manor House is about 2.7 miles east), access may need planning.
Before booking anyone

Why act early in Upton Park
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. Every month a London system goes without attention adds to what has to be done later.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What you get with us
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- We diagnose before we treat
- BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Fully insured

Upton Park: your questions answered
Can a school canteen extract in Upton Park be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 64 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Upton Park, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
How do you handle parking and loading in Upton Park?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Upton Park, and about any building rules on loading. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit normally gets round them.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
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.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Upton Park?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
What affects the quote in Upton Park
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- How big the system is
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The times the site is available
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
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’re unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight, so residents and patients are not disturbed.
Extract fan and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to cut noise, and they hold grease. We clean what can be reached and note anything that cannot.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
