Our kitchen extract cleaning service in NW6
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report and extra access panels can be added. Common call-outs are for stale cooking odours from the system and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, on plenums and filters, vertical risers and extract fans.
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- 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.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.

Kitchen extract cleaning around NW6
Our kitchen extract cleaning work across NW6 takes in places such as Hampstead, Kilburn and West Hampstead and the villages in between. We cover every place we list for NW6, 15 in all, and kitchens are cleaned around their opening hours, overnight and at weekends included.
In England, the Fire Safety Order puts the duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and each certificate and photo report is a record you can keep in your log book.
Kilburn: Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Paddington General Hospital is the nearest hospital to Kilburn, about 1 mile south. A kitchen near Queens Park (London) station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How many systems or sites are involved
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
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. That’s our job.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
Every clean ends with a photo report. Before and after pictures show each part of the system, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
NW6 questions
Will the clean disrupt our service?
The clean is done when the kitchen is not cooking, so evenings, overnight, early mornings and weekends are all options. We need the equipment switched off and cooled first.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No law names TR19 directly, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
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.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
It takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. We will confirm the time when we quote.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
