Our kitchen extract cleaning service in TW16

Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with photos of the canopy and filters, and you’ll have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in TW16, normally within one working day. The work covers extract fans, plenums and filters and horizontal duct runs, and the jobs we see most are stale cooking odours from the system and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction.

We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.

  1. We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
  2. We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
  3. The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
  4. Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
  5. We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.

What affects the price in TW16

The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

What you get with us

  • Each visit written up, with pictures
  • One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
  • Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
  • Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout

Getting a quote

Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Kitchen extract cleaning around TW16

From Sunbury-on-Thames and Ashford Common to its smaller places, TW16 has kitchens of every size. Every one gets the same full TR19® clean, from the canopy to the discharge.

In England, the Fire Safety Order puts the duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and each certificate and photo report is a record you can keep in your log book.

Sunbury-on-Thames: If you cook for passing trade around Sunbury station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Saviour or elsewhere in Sunbury-on-Thames, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Honest limits

A few issues sit outside what this work can do:

  • A grease trap that needs emptying
  • Damaged duct sections that need replacing
  • A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)

Keeping the system healthy

Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:

  • Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
  • Wash or exchange the filters often
  • File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
  • Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away

You leave with a date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date is not missed.

Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.

What affects the quote in TW16

You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:

  • The times the site is available
  • How easy every part is to reach
  • The scale of the work
  • Where the site is and how we reach it

We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll explain what it covers.

What we need to know

Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:

  • Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
  • Any previous report or certificate

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.

Different parts, different methods

Ductwork and risers

Long flat runs of duct are where grease collects. Each run is cleaned through its access panels, recording any that cannot be reached.

Schools, hospitals and care homes

School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.

Leave it or put it right?

Leaving the clean until the next refit doesn’t make the grease go away. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, which is slower to clean. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter.

Questions from TW16

What do you need from me for a quote?

Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

What do you do to protect the area?

With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.

How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?

That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. We will recommend a date after measuring the grease.

Will the clean disrupt our service?

Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. We need the equipment cool, and we leave the kitchen ready to cook.

What does TR19 mean?

BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.

Can we book visits on a schedule?

Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.

Can you price the work without visiting?

Often, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
