Kitchen extract cleaning in TW17: how it works
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with photos of the canopy and filters, and we’ll come back with a fixed price for the work in TW17, usually within one working day. The work covers extract fans, vertical risers and plenums and filters, and common reasons people get in touch are a kitchen taken over without any extract records and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19.
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before we start.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
What you will pay
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Kitchen extracts across TW17
Kitchens across TW17 cook for very different hours, from all-day town-centre sites to part-time hall and school kitchens. The right interval comes from hours of use and grease readings.
We work across London and the South East, and TW17 is part of that area. Each job starts with a survey and a fixed quote, wherever it is in TW17.
Shepperton: If you cook for passing trade around Shepperton station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Shepperton, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What we are called out for in TW17
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Poor airflow at the canopy
Why act early?
If your kitchen in TW17 is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. The job takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time, and we fit around your opening hours. Every extra month adds grease.

Managing agents and facilities teams in TW17
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Part by part
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that don’t.
TW17: your questions answered
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the photos show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
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. As a guide, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
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.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
