Our kitchen extract cleaning service in KT2
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and grease settles in every one of them. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The work covers extract fans, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers, and common reasons people get in touch are poor airflow at the canopy and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract.
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
How we quote

Local landmarks in Kingston upon Thames
Around Kingston upon Thames, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Church of St Luke, Kingston Grammar School and Tiffin School. Also close by are The Grey Horse pub (within half a mile south-west), St Luke's CofE Primary School (within half a mile east) and Canbury Gardens (less than half a mile north-west).

For a walk, there’s Rose Walk and Kingston Hill Road area.
Where we work in KT2
Kitchens across KT2 cook for very different hours, from all-day town-centre sites to part-time hall and school kitchens. The right interval comes from hours of use and grease readings.
From central London kitchens to coastal hotels and country pubs, London and the South East have every kind of site. The same TR19® standard applies to all of them, in KT2 and beyond.
Kingston upon Thames: Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Luke's CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run a café or takeaway near Kingston station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
What we’re called out for in KT2
A kitchen in KT2 builds up grease in the same places as any other: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Fat running down the canopy edge
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The times the site is available
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
When it’s something else
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
Any section without access is marked on the report. That’s part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in KT2
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
Everything from canopy to discharge: the canopy, the plenum behind the filters, the filters, horizontal ducts, vertical risers, the fan and the discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we can’t reach is recorded on the report.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. TR19 is the industry benchmark for meeting that duty in a kitchen extract, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Do you work in KT2?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes KT2.
