Kitchen extract cleaning across SW5: what to expect
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and each part collects grease. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Common call-outs are for an extract that no longer clears the smoke and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, on canopies and hoods, vertical risers and plenums and filters.
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
What affects the price in SW5
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Where we work in SW5
Our kitchen extract cleaning work across SW5 takes in places such as West Brompton, Earl's Court and West Kensington and the villages in between. We cover every place we list for SW5, 4 in all, with cleans booked around trading hours.
London and the South East cover everything from city basements to rural kitchens. The same TR19® standard applies to all of them, in SW5 and beyond.
West Brompton: If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Western Hospital about less than half a mile south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. For schools such as St Cuthbert with St Matthias CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in SW5
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- The number of sites or systems
- How big the system is
- The condition of the system
- The times the site is available
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
What we are called out for in SW5
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
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.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in SW5 and across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
What the work involves, part by part
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, and grease can collect there too. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
Questions from SW5
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
No law names TR19 directly, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
We clean every part the grease travels through. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where needed.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Do you work in SW5?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes SW5.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. Most jobs take a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
