Kitchen extract cleaning in Avery Hill, done properly
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Send a few pictures of the canopy and filters when you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll come back with a fixed price for the work in Avery Hill, normally within one working day. Typical jobs include grease dripping from the canopy or filters and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, on extract fans, horizontal duct runs and discharge points. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Avery Hill? We’ve been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
Most kitchens in Avery Hill fall into one of BESA’s three bands: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, with grease readings setting the real interval.
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. In Avery Hill, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date is not missed.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. If your building in Avery Hill has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
What a clean won’t put right
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It does not solve:
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers

What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Avery Hill
Who is the fire and rescue service for Avery Hill?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers Avery Hill. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
How do you handle parking and loading in Avery Hill?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Avery Hill makes the visit easier to plan. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit typically gets round them.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
What information do you need?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Avery Hill
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
A kitchen near Falconwood station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

How the job changes from site to site
Grease filters
A filter that is missing or bent lets grease straight past. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that do not.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
