TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Wallend
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and grease settles in every one of them. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. The work covers extract fans, canopies and hoods and vertical risers, and people most often call us about a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and years of baked-on grease in the ducts. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Wallend typically mean the kitchen extract, and that’s exactly what we do: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
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. For a kitchen in Wallend, that normally means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we’re happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Wallend.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear the space around the work
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Related advice
Different parts, different methods
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. Each run is cleaned through its access panels, recording any that can’t be reached.
Wallend kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 20 pubs and bars and about 4 hotels and guest houses as registered food businesses in and around Wallend, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Fire safety in Wallend falls to London Fire Brigade. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St John the Baptist's Church or elsewhere in Wallend, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Nelson Primary School or anywhere near Wallend, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Newham University Hospital (about 1.4 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What staff can safely do
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, and that is where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date is not missed.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
