Kitchen extract cleaning across HA9: what to expect
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. The work covers discharge points, extract fans and canopies and hoods, and the jobs we see most are a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and grease smells coming from the extract.
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. 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 anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
What you will pay
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Kitchen extract cleaning across HA9: local notes
Across HA9, from Wembley, Stonebridge and Brent Park outwards, kitchens range from town-centre restaurants and takeaways to pubs, hotels, schools and care homes. Each extract is cleaned to the same TR19® standard, canopy to discharge.
Across England, including HA9, the responsible person has a legal duty to assess and reduce fire risk, and a TR19® certificate and photo report give you a record of the work.
Wembley: Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Augustine, or anywhere in Wembley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. School kitchens, at schools like Wembley Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
What happens if it’s left?
If your kitchen in HA9 is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. It takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you do not lose a service. Waiting only adds grease and risk.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether a written report and photos are included
HA9 questions
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
