About kitchen extract cleaning in SW16
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers vertical risers, canopies and hoods and extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are stale cooking odours from the system and an extract that no longer clears the smoke.
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and we clear up before we go.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- 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 extracts across SW16
Our kitchen extract cleaning work across SW16 takes in places such as Thornton Heath, Streatham and Eastfields and the villages in between. We cover every place we list for SW16, 10 in all, with cleans booked around trading hours.
Much of our work across London and the South East happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so sites across SW16 do not have to lose a day.
Streatham: Commuter trade near Streatham station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Tooting Bec Hospital (about 1 mile west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
What we’re called out for in SW16
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
What we are most often called out for:
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
Managing agents and facilities teams in SW16
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Common questions in SW16
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Do you work in SW16?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, SW16 included.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. If pictures aren’t enough, we’ll survey first.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. TR19 is the industry benchmark for meeting that duty in a kitchen extract, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
