Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in West Twyford
Which environmental health team covers West Twyford?
The local authority for West Twyford is Ealing council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in West Twyford during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 33 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of West Twyford. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Where there are not enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
Kitchen extract cleaning in West Twyford
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. The certificate and photo report from each clean in West Twyford give you that record for the maintenance log. Typical jobs include an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and grease dripping from the canopy or filters, across horizontal duct runs, plenums and filters and extract fans. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a system that’s clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in West Twyford is normally done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What happens if it’s left?
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A certificate in the file answers that question. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in West Twyford
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- The condition of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in West Twyford
Food Standards Agency records include about 30 pubs and bars and about 7 hotels and B&Bs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of West Twyford. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. London jobs usually start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first. Environmental health officers from Ealing council inspect food businesses in West Twyford. 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.
School kitchens, at schools like West Twyford Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hospital like Central Middlesex Hospital, about 0.6 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

When to call us in West Twyford
The reason for all this is fire. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. That’s why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Grease smells coming from the extract
Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in West Twyford, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Expect the work in West Twyford to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- 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.
- 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
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote
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, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
