Kitchen extract cleaning in TW12: how it works
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. 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. Typical jobs include heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract, across extract fans, plenums and filters and vertical risers.
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- 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.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
How we quote
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Kitchen extract cleaning across TW12: local notes
From Teddington, Hampton and Hanworth to its smaller places, TW12 has kitchens of every size. Each extract is cleaned to the same TR19® standard, canopy to discharge.
Across London and the South East, we work evenings, overnight and weekends, so sites across TW12 don’t have to lose a day.
Hampton: Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Teddington Memorial Hospital is the nearest hospital to Hampton, about 1.5 miles east. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near All Saints' Hampton or elsewhere in Hampton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- A fan motor that has burnt out
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Wash or exchange the filters often
You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
What we’re called out for in TW12
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. For a kitchen in TW12, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Fat running down the canopy edge
Leave it or put it right?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, and that takes more work to shift. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable.

FAQs for TW12
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
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 doesn’t spread.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. As a guide, it takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
When do you clean the extract?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, so evenings, overnight, early mornings and weekends are all options. We need the equipment switched off and cooled first.
