Kitchen extract cleaning in West Bedfont
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers vertical risers, extract fans and plenums and filters, and common reasons people get in touch are ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and grease dripping from the canopy or filters. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but in West Bedfont, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
We clean every reachable part of the system in West Bedfont: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
In a small place like West Bedfont, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Kitchen extract cleaning in West Bedfont: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records list about 92 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 22 takeaways and sandwich shops across West Bedfont and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. West Bedfont is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In West Bedfont, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Spelthorne council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to West Bedfont is Ashford Hospital, about 0.7 miles south. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Stanwell Fields CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What we do, step by step
We turn up 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 first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like West Bedfont.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

FAQs for West Bedfont
Which environmental health team covers West Bedfont?
Kitchens in West Bedfont are inspected by Spelthorne council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Which fire service covers West Bedfont?
West Bedfont is in the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Is West Bedfont in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes West Bedfont.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
We clean to BESA TR19® Grease as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, and certificates go through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. We’ve been trading since 2009.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. We’ll recommend a date after measuring the grease.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Common problems we fix in West Bedfont
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around West Bedfont, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What the work involves, part by part
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in West Bedfont
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition we find in the survey
- Travel, parking and unloading
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- 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.
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
