About kitchen extract cleaning in WD25
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with photos of the canopy and filters, and we’ll come back with a fixed price for the work in WD25, normally within one working day. The work covers vertical risers, discharge points and canopies and hoods, and the jobs we see most are grease smells coming from the extract and a kitchen taken over without any extract records.
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
What you’ll pay
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Kitchen extract cleaning around WD25
Across WD25, from Watford, Bushey and Woodside 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.
London and the South East cover everything from city basements to rural kitchens. Wherever the site is in WD25, the work is done to the same TR19® standard.
Watford: Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Andrew or anywhere around Watford, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. For schools such as Watford St John's Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Honest limits
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
Part by part
Ductwork and risers
Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. Access panels along the riser let us clean it in sections.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight with as little disruption as possible.
Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
You get a photo report after every clean. It shows the system before and after, part by part, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
Why act early?
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. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it.
What your quote should include
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Proof of insurance
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
WD25: your questions answered
What information do you need?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
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 much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in WD25?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
When do you clean the extract?
Cleans are timed to avoid service. Most kitchens book us overnight or at weekends, so you do not lose a service.
