Our kitchen extract cleaning service in UB3
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Anything out of reach is noted in the report and extra access panels can be added. The work covers vertical risers, discharge points and extract fans, and the jobs we see most are an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract.
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- 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.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.

Kitchen extract cleaning across UB3: local notes
Across UB3, from Hayes, Cranford and Harlington 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.
We work across London and the South East, and UB3 is part of that area. Each job starts with a survey and a fixed quote, wherever it is in UB3.
Hayes: Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Northolt Manor is about 3 miles north-east), access may need planning. Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Hayes, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. We plan the clean around meal times and work in a contained, tidy way, so residents and patients are not disturbed.
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and put back so they seat correctly. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition of the system
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Wash or exchange the filters often
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as photos. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Staff cleaning does not 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.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in UB3
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
When do you clean the extract?
When the kitchen is closed, at whatever time suits you. The equipment is switched off and left to cool, and we hand the kitchen back ready for the next service.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in UB3?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
It takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. We will confirm the time when we quote.
