About kitchen extract cleaning in TW3
Any kitchen we clean in TW3 gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. The work covers canopies and hoods, plenums and filters and extract fans, and people most often call us about ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey.
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- 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 across TW3: local notes
Across TW3, from Twickenham, Hounslow and Isleworth outwards, kitchens range from town-centre restaurants and takeaways to pubs, hotels, schools and care homes. Every one gets the same full TR19® clean, from the canopy to the discharge.
Across London and the South East, we work evenings, overnight and weekends, so sites in TW3 can keep trading.
Hounslow: If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Chatsworth Primary School or anywhere near Hounslow, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Hounslow, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving the clean until the next refit does not 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.
What your quote should include
- Proof of insurance
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- If they look at the system before pricing
What we are called out for in TW3
In TW3, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
Honest limits
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
You leave with a date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. 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. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, and grease can collect there too. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
FAQs for TW3
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
What’s TR19?
A BESA 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.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
The clean is done when the kitchen isn’t cooking, so evenings, overnight, early mornings and weekends are all options. We need the equipment switched off and cooled first.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
