What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Wimbledon Chase
The FSA’s data shows about 29 pubs and bars and about 6 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered across Wimbledon Chase and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Wimbledon Chase is covered by London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Atkinson Morley Hospital is the nearest hospital to Wimbledon Chase, about 1.2 miles north-west. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Wimbledon Chase Primary School or anywhere near Wimbledon Chase, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. For kitchens close to Wimbledon Chase station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

About our kitchen extract cleaning in Wimbledon Chase
Across Wimbledon Chase, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. Typical jobs include a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and rancid smells from grease in the duct, on plenums and filters, vertical risers and discharge points. Most calls from Wimbledon Chase come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, which is why a TR19® clean in Wimbledon Chase goes well beyond the canopy.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Wimbledon Chase is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
The report is your 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.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The size of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Every site is different, 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.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
Wimbledon Chase questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Wimbledon Chase?
In Wimbledon Chase, it’s Merton council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Which fire authority looks after Wimbledon Chase?
Wimbledon Chase is in the area of London Fire Brigade. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19® itself is not law. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
BESA guidance sets minimums by daily cooking hours: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Wimbledon Chase saves time on the night.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send 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
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, and equipment can be switched back on once we’ve gone.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, which slows build-up further down the system.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

What else we do in Wimbledon Chase
Leave it or put it right?
Environmental health officers inspect food businesses, in Wimbledon Chase as everywhere else, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.

How the job changes from site to site
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that don’t.
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
