TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in West Drayton
Kitchen extract cleaning for West Drayton, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Stale cooking odours from the system
What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work 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 West Drayton is normally out of hours.
- You send pictures 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.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in West Drayton
We’ve been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers vertical risers, plenums and filters and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and stale cooking odours from the system. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from West Drayton start: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, so that is where most of the work in West Drayton goes.
In a London area like West Drayton, 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, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
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 and sits alongside the report.

Why deal with it now?
Any food business in West Drayton can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters won’t go unnoticed. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Why book with us
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- Each visit written up, with photos

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Kitchen extract cleaning around West Drayton
Food Standards Agency data counts about 65 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 39 sandwich bars and takeaways across West Drayton and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Food hygiene inspections in West Drayton are the job of Hillingdon council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. London jobs typically start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.
For kitchens close to West Drayton station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Martin or anywhere around West Drayton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

FAQs for West Drayton
Can the work in West Drayton be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in West Drayton can fit around your hours. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can a school canteen extract in West Drayton be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around West Drayton, the Food Standards Agency lists about 23 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
BESA guidance sets minimums by daily cooking hours: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Measured grease levels set the real interval.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. Most jobs take a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
No law names TR19 directly, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
What else we do in West Drayton
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on in West Drayton

Managing agents and facilities teams in West Drayton
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
When to call us in West Drayton
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. 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.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
Term dates shape school work: for a school like West Drayton Academy, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
