Kitchen extract cleaning across TW4: what to expect
Any kitchen we clean in TW4 gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. Typical jobs include years of baked-on grease in the ducts and grease dripping from the canopy or filters, across canopies and hoods, vertical risers and extract fans.
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 before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it 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.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- 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.
What you’ll pay
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What you get with us
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.

Where we work in TW4
Across TW4, from Twickenham, Hounslow West and Cranford 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 TW4 can keep trading.
Hounslow West: If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Paul or elsewhere in Hounslow West, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. A hospital like Hounslow Hospital, about 0.7 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How big the system is
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The postcode and the type of business
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Different parts, different methods
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. We will tell you if any need replacing.
What we’re called out for in TW4
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Grease smells coming from the extract
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, which is slower to clean. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable.
Questions to ask before booking
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- What paperwork you get at the end
- What insurance they carry
FAQs for TW4
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
You receive 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 photos, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do you work in TW4?
Yes. We cover TW4 and across Greater London, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
