About kitchen extract cleaning in TW8
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with photos of the canopy and filters, and you will have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in TW8, normally within one working day. The work covers vertical risers, canopies and hoods and extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and a kitchen taken over without any extract records.
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- 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.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.

Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; 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.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Leave it or put it right?
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. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to.
What your quote should include
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether VAT is included
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in TW8
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before work begins.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
We work around your hours. Overnight, weekend and between-service cleans are all possible and the kitchen is ready to cook when we leave.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
