The grease you can't see
Filters catch some of it. The rest coats the inside of your ductwork, layer by layer, every service. One flare-up from the grill can find it.
Duct fires spread out of sight, through walls and ceilings.
Commercial kitchen ventilation · North West London
Your filters look clean.
Your ductwork doesn't.
Behind every canopy in North West London there's a duct you never see. Inside it, grease builds up every service. It's the part of your kitchen your insurer will ask about, and the one you probably haven't checked.
- TR19® Grease cleaning
- Certificate on the day
- Out-of-hours, no closures
What most kitchen owners find out too late
Three things are already happening in your kitchen.
The certificate you can't find
After a fire, the first thing an insurer asks for is proof your extract system was cleaned to TR19 Grease standard. "We clean the filters every week" isn't proof.
No record can mean a reduced or refused claim.
The inspection you didn't plan for
Environmental Health and fire officers don't book ahead. A greasy canopy, a noisy fan or missing records is the kind of thing they write down.
A poor visit can mean lower hygiene ratings, notices, or closure.
Most owners only find out after a fire, a claim or an inspection. You can find out now, in 30 seconds.

Questions owners ask us
How often should our ductwork be cleaned?
It depends on how much you cook and with what. Heavy-use kitchens (grills, fryers, woks) often need cleaning every 3 months; lighter use can be 6 or 12 months. We'll tell you which applies to you.
Isn't cleaning the filters enough?
No. Filters catch part of the grease. The rest settles inside the ductwork, which is where duct fires start and what insurers want evidence of.
Will we have to close?
No. We work before opening or after closing.
What do we get at the end?
A photo report of every section and a TR19 Grease post-clean certificate you can show an insurer or inspector.
