How kitchen extract cleaning works in UB9
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and grease settles in every one of them. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. Common call-outs are for a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and an extract that no longer clears the smoke, across horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and extract fans.
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give 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.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
How we quote
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.

Kitchen extracts across UB9
In UB9, a busy kitchen in a place such as Hillingdon, Uxbridge and Harefield and a quiet village kitchen need very different cleaning intervals. Grease readings and BESA’s minimum intervals set the schedule for each.
UB9 is within the area we cover, which takes in London and the South East. Every job is surveyed first and quoted at a fixed price, wherever it is in UB9.
Harefield: If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Harefield Hospital about within half a mile north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Church and community hall kitchens, near Harefield Baptist Church or anywhere around Harefield, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
Part by part
Grease filters
A filter that’s missing or bent lets grease straight past. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that do not.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. We plan the clean around meal times and work in a contained, tidy way with as little disruption as possible.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so those sections were never reached. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Keep grease collection points emptied
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
FAQs for UB9
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in UB9?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.
