Kitchen extract cleaning across NW10: what to expect
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and grease settles in every one of them. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Common call-outs are for rancid smells from grease in the duct and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate, on discharge points, canopies and hoods and plenums and filters.
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from 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.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.

Near you in Neasden
Typical jobs here are in premises near The Swaminarayan School, St Catherine's Church Neasden with St Paul and Gladstone Park, among other places. You’ll also find Northview Junior and Infant School (under half a mile west) and Crest Boys' Academy (0.6 miles north). The closest station to Neasden is Brent Cross West station, roughly 1.3 miles north-east. A little further out are Neasden Hospital (0.7 miles south-west) and London Designer Outlet (1.7 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Westbere Copse and Castlebar Hill.
Where we work in NW10
Kitchens across NW10 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.
Across London and the South East, we work evenings, overnight and weekends, so sites across NW10 do not have to lose a day.
Neasden: For schools such as Northview Junior and Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Neasden Hospital is the nearest hospital to Neasden, about 0.7 miles south-west.
Managing agents and facilities teams in NW10
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Common problems we fix in NW10
How fast grease builds up depends mostly on how long the kitchen cooks each day. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
Ductwork and risers
Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. Access panels along the riser let us clean it in sections.
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
You leave with a date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date isn’t missed.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in NW10
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
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.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. We need the equipment cool, and we leave the kitchen ready to cook.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. As a guide, it takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
