Our kitchen extract cleaning service in TW13
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at 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. The work covers discharge points, plenums and filters and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are grease smells coming from the extract and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract.
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
- 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.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.

Kitchen extract cleaning around TW13
In TW13, a busy kitchen in a place such as Feltham, Ashford and Hanworth and a quiet village kitchen need very different cleaning intervals. The right interval comes from hours of use and grease readings.
Across London and the South East, we work evenings, overnight and weekends, so sites across TW13 do not have to lose a day.
Hanworth: A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Richard's Church or elsewhere in Hanworth, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Strawberry Hill House is about 2 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
What we are called out for in TW13
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. 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.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Fat running down the canopy edge
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.
Why act early?
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it.
Comparing quotes
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
What affects the quote in TW13
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The times the site is available
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition we find in the survey
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Problems your staff have spotted
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in TW13
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
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.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
We clean to BESA TR19® Grease as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, with certificates issued through the BESCA portal. Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. Without proof, a claim can be refused or reduced, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
