Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Walham Green
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: 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. If you have extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, we can put it right. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Walham Green? We have been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
In a London area like Walham Green, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight, so residents and patients aren’t disturbed.
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Walham Green?
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Poor airflow at the canopy
For kitchens close to Imperial Wharf station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
What to look for in a quote
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
Leave it or put it right?
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A certificate in the file answers that question. In Walham Green, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Walham Green is typically out of hours.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear the space around the work
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote

Kitchen extracts in Walham Green
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 118 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 47 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses across Walham Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. In Walham Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Hammersmith and Fulham council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. London Fire Brigade covers Walham Green. 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.
School kitchens, at schools like Chelsea Independent College for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Where a hall near Church of St John, or anywhere in Walham Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- The scale of the work
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site rules, permits and inductions
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
