Our kitchen extract cleaning service in WD7
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with photos of the canopy and filters, and you will have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in WD7, normally within one working day. The work covers canopies and hoods, extract fans and plenums and filters, and people most often call us about an extract that no longer clears the smoke and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate.
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large 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.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.

Radlett: Commuter trade near Radlett station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. A hospital like Shenley Hospital, about 1.4 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so those sections were never reached. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- A broken extract fan that will not run
Part by part
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.
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition of the system
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
FAQs for WD7
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19 is not written into law, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
