In a small place like Bartley, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.

How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Bartley
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. The work covers discharge points, canopies and hoods and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are stale cooking odours from the system and poor airflow at the canopy. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but in Bartley, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

How the job changes from site to site
Extract fan and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. Where they can be cleaned, they are, and the report notes anything that cannot.
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. We clean both inside and out, including the filter housing.
When to call us in Bartley
The reason for all this is fire. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. That’s why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Stale cooking odours from the system
School kitchens, at schools like Bartley Church of England Junior School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

FAQs for Bartley
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Bartley in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Bartley, the Food Standards Agency lists about 3 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Can you get to a site in Bartley?
Yes. Bartley is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
When do you clean the extract?
Cleans are timed to avoid service. Most kitchens book us overnight or at weekends, so you don’t lose a service.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Bartley?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What happens if it’s left?
A clogged extract doesn’t only raise the fire risk. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky, while the fan works harder to move less air. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. In a place like Bartley, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Bartley
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.
