Our kitchen extract cleaning service in NW3
We’ve been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. The work covers horizontal duct runs, extract fans and canopies and hoods, and people most often call us about cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate.
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- 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.

Kitchen extract cleaning across NW3: local notes
From Hampstead, West Hampstead and Kentish Town to its smaller places, NW3 has kitchens of every size. Each extract is cleaned to the same TR19® standard, canopy to discharge.
NW3 is within the area we cover, which takes in London and the South East. Every job is surveyed first and quoted at a fixed price, wherever it is in NW3.
Hampstead: Church and community hall kitchens, near St John-at-Hampstead church or anywhere around Hampstead, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Commuter trade near Finchley Road & Frognal station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How easy every part is to reach
- How big the system is
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Why act early?
If your kitchen in NW3 is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. It takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you do not lose a service. Waiting only adds grease and risk.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Proof of insurance
Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Canopy and plenum
Whether it’s one hood or a long island canopy, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
Common questions in NW3
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
Everything from canopy to discharge: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.
