How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Bellingham
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Typical jobs include grease dripping from the canopy or filters and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer, across canopies and hoods, discharge points and extract fans. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in Bellingham 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, so that’s where most of the work in Bellingham goes.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Bellingham is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- What state the system is in
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as pictures. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Bellingham
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 27 pubs, bars and clubs and about 4 hotels and B&Bs across Bellingham and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Bellingham is covered by London Fire Brigade. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Bellingham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Lewisham council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Dunstan, or anywhere in Bellingham, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. A hospital like University Hospital Lewisham, about 1.6 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. School kitchens, at schools like Elfrida Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Around Bellingham
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Sedgehill School, Forster Memorial Park and Allenby Tutorial Trust, among other places. Bellingham has its own railway station: Bellingham station. A little further out are Prefab Museum (1 mile east) and University Hospital Lewisham (1.6 miles north). Open spaces near Bellingham include Downham Woodland Walk and Knight's Hill.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Bellingham.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Related advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When something else is needed
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
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.
Parts of the system we cover
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Why deal with it now?
Environmental health officers inspect food businesses, in Bellingham as everywhere else, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters will not go unnoticed. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. A busy site in Bellingham builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Do you work at weekends in Bellingham?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Bellingham keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What do you need to know about parking in Bellingham?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after photos, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.

Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
