About kitchen extract cleaning in SW19
A closed kitchen isn’t earning, so the timing of a clean matters. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. We are often asked to deal with a system with no record of a TR19 clean and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, across canopies and hoods, plenums and filters and vertical risers.
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send 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.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
What you’ll pay
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.

How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.

Kitchen extract cleaning around SW19
Our kitchen extract cleaning work across SW19 takes in places such as Wimbledon, Putney and Colliers Wood and the villages in between. Every place on our SW19 list (18 in all) is covered, and kitchens are cleaned around their opening hours, overnight and at weekends included.
SW19 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.
Wimbledon: Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Atkinson Morley Hospital (about 1.2 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Wimbledon High School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, so grease readings help set the right interval.
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. We clean both inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in SW19
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- What state the system is in
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Need a price for kitchen extract cleaning? Please phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with a few details about the site. We will talk you through the work and give you a fixed quote before anything is booked.
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning will not do:
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
Every clean ends with a photo report. It shows the system before and after, part by part, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
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.
Questions from SW19
Will the clean disrupt our service?
The clean is done when the kitchen isn’t cooking, working evenings, overnight or at weekends to suit you. We need the equipment switched off and cooled first.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we are fully insured.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, 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.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
