Kitchen extract cleaning across UB4: what to expect
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. The certificate and photo report from each clean in UB4 give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. We are often asked to deal with rancid smells from grease in the duct and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, on plenums and filters, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers.
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.

Kitchen extract cleaning around UB4
In UB4, a busy kitchen in a place such as Hayes, Yeading and Yiewsley and a quiet village kitchen need very different cleaning intervals. Grease readings and BESA’s minimum intervals set the schedule for each.
Much of our work across London and the South East happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so sites in UB4 can keep trading.
Hayes: If you cook for passing trade around Hayes & Harlington station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Hayes is Hayes Cottage Hospital, about less than half a mile north.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
What we are called out for in UB4
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Grease smells coming from the extract
Different parts, different methods
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. Cleans are done after close, overnight or before opening.
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. We will tell you if any need replacing.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How easy every part is to reach
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How big the system is
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- A few general shots of the system
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, giving you before and after readings alongside the pictures. A TR19 certificate follows, 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.
UB4 questions
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in UB4?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
