What affects the quote in Cubitt Town
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site rules, permits and inductions
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- A few general shots of the system
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
TR19 inspection in Cubitt Town, done properly
Taking on a kitchen in Cubitt Town with no cleaning records? Start with an inspection. We survey the system, measure the grease and tell you what needs doing, so the next step is based on facts. Typical jobs include heavy grease suspected in the plenum or ducts and checking the result of a recent clean, across post-clean checks, insurer audits and deposit thickness tests.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. For a kitchen in Cubitt Town, that typically means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurants, pubs and hotels
A kitchen running from breakfast to late service builds grease quickly. Regular testing shows whether the cleaning interval keeps up.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease can gather thickly at bends and along long runs, well away from where anyone looks.
Why deal with it now?
Catching heavy deposits early keeps the fix small. Left alone, grease keeps building between cleans. A building in Cubitt Town may have flats or offices above and alongside, and a fault in the system can affect them too.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
Why us?
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Each visit written up, with pictures

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by TR19 inspection, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Parts of the duct nobody can reach yet
- The legal duty, which stays with the responsible person
- Removing the grease, which is a separate clean
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What TR19 inspection looks like in Cubitt Town
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 60 pubs, bars and clubs and about 17 hotels and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Cubitt Town. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too. Kitchens in Cubitt Town get their food hygiene inspections from Greenwich council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.

The process
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes anything from an hour for a small canopy and short duct to a good part of a day for a large site, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Before any visit in Cubitt Town, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.
- We agree a time when the kitchen is closed or quiet.
- We look over the canopy, plenum, ducts, fan and discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points by WFTT or DTT.
- Each test point and any access problems are photographed.
- The findings go into a report with readings, pictures and a recommended next clean.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.

Common problems we fix in Cubitt Town
Some parts of a system are hard to reach, so those sections can be skipped time and again. An inspection of a system in Cubitt Town shows where access panels are missing, so panels can be fitted.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Insurance renewals needing proof of TR19 cleaning
- Systems cleaned on a calendar with no measurements
- Post-clean verification after another contractor’s clean
- Ductwork where grease may be over the TR19 limits
Church and community hall kitchens, near Christ Church or anywhere around Cubitt Town, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them

- What paperwork you get at the end
