About kitchen extract cleaning in TW9
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with pictures of the canopy and filters, and you will have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in TW9, normally within one working day. Typical jobs include poor airflow at the canopy and grease smells coming from the extract, on discharge points, canopies and hoods and vertical risers.
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
How we quote
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What you get with us
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- A written report with pictures after every visit
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Around Richmond
Around Richmond, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Kneller Hall Junior School, The Vineyard School and Terrace and Buccleuch Gardens. Nearby too are The Vineyard Church (less than half a mile north-west), The Victoria pub (less than half a mile north-west) and Christ's Church of England Comprehensive Secondary School (0.6 miles east). The nearest railway station is Richmond station, roughly 0.5 miles north. Well-known places in the area include Eel Pie Island Museum (1.2 miles south-west) and South Middlesex Hospital (1.6 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Richmond Hill and Ham Lands.
Where we work in TW9
Kitchens across TW9 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.
From central London kitchens to coastal hotels and country pubs, London and the South East have every kind of site. Wherever the site is in TW9, the work is done to the same TR19® standard.
Richmond: If you run a café or takeaway near Richmond station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; South Middlesex Hospital is the nearest hospital to Richmond, about 1.6 miles west.
Why act early?
Any food business in TW9 can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters will not go unnoticed. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster.
Questions to ask before you book
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether a survey comes first
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How big the system is
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition of the system
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
For kitchen extract cleaning in TW9, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
Why it fails
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.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
Part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, which can put them in BESA’s 3 or 6-monthly bands. Cleans are done after close, overnight or before opening.
Ductwork and risers
Long flat runs of duct are where grease collects. Each run is cleaned through its access panels, recording any that can’t be reached.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
FAQs for TW9
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What do I get after the clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
