How kitchen extract cleaning works in SW17
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Send a few pictures of the canopy and filters when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will come back with a fixed price for the work in SW17, normally within one working day. Typical jobs include grease smells coming from the extract and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19, across discharge points, extract fans and vertical risers.
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
What affects the price in SW17
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Near you in Colliers Wood

Also close by are Figge's Marsh (0.5 miles south-east), Ensham School (0.5 miles north-east) and Sellincourt Primary School (less than half a mile north).

Not far away are Henman Hill and Myrna Close.
Where we work in SW17
Kitchens across SW17 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. Wherever the site is in SW17, the work is done to the same TR19® standard.
Colliers Wood: A hospital like Grove Hospital, about 0.6 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Nicholas or elsewhere in Colliers Wood, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. 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.
Managing agents and facilities teams in SW17
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
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.
Part by part
Ductwork and risers
Long flat runs of duct are where grease collects. Each run is cleaned through its access panels, recording any that can’t be reached.
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 problems we fix in SW17
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so those sections were never reached. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in SW17
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The number of sites or systems
- The times the site is available
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Any permits to work or inductions
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report

Common questions in SW17
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Where there aren’t enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. Without proof, a claim can be refused or reduced, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Do you work in SW17?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes SW17.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
