How kitchen extract cleaning works in HA5
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Typical jobs include cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs, across horizontal duct runs, discharge points and canopies and hoods.
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Pricing in HA5

Kitchen extract cleaning across HA5: local notes
Our kitchen extract cleaning work across HA5 takes in places such as Ruislip, Hatch End and Ruislip Manor and the villages in between. We cover every place we list for HA5, 12 in all, and kitchens are cleaned around their opening hours, overnight and at weekends included.
Much of our work across London and the South East happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so sites in HA5 can keep trading.
Hatch End: Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Northwood and Pinner Cottage Hospital is the nearest hospital to Hatch End, about 1.7 miles west. For schools such as Pinner Park Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Leave it or put it right?
An overdue clean in HA5 is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. It takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you don’t lose a service. Waiting only adds grease and risk.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- What insurance they carry
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so nobody could get to them. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
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. Leave those to us.
HA5: your questions answered
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
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.
Do you cover HA5?
Yes. We cover HA5 and the rest of Greater London, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
