What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Kitchen duct cleaning in Beckenham
Any kitchen we clean in Beckenham gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. The work covers discharge points, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and ductwork thick with old, hardened grease. Whether you call it kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning or kitchen duct cleaning, in Beckenham it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, which is why a TR19® clean in Beckenham goes well beyond the canopy.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Beckenham is typically done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
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’ve been trading since 2009.

Questions from Beckenham
What do you need to know about parking in Beckenham?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Beckenham, and about any building rules on loading. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Beckenham?
In Beckenham, it’s Bromley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you quote from photos?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Is Beckenham in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Beckenham included.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we are fully insured.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Short systems are done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.

What else we do in Beckenham
What we’re called out for in Beckenham
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Harris Primary Academy Beckenham Green, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Before you book anyone
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- If they look at the system before pricing
- How VAT is shown on the quote
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
Every clean ends with a photo report. Before and after pictures show each part of the system, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Leave it or put it right?
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. A booked night’s work in Beckenham costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll talk you through it.

Beckenham kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 29 pubs, bars and clubs and about 5 hotels and B&Bs in Beckenham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. In Beckenham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Bromley council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Beckenham is Beckenham Beacon, about within half a mile south-west. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Christ Church or elsewhere in Beckenham, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Advice
What affects the quote in Beckenham
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The scale of the work

- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey

What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
