Kitchen extract cleaning in Bermondsey, done properly
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Any section we cannot reach is recorded on the report and extra access panels can be added. If you have a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and grease drips onto cooking equipment, we can put it right. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Bermondsey typically mean the kitchen extract, and that’s exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Bermondsey is normally done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem 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.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Kitchen extract cleaning around Bermondsey
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 1,195 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 572 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Bermondsey. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. London Fire Brigade covers Bermondsey. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Bermondsey, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Southwark council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Guy's Hospital (about 0.7 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Commuter trade near London Bridge station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Boutcher Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Bermondsey: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Bermondsey?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Bermondsey. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can the work in Bermondsey be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Bermondsey does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What do you do with what you remove?
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.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Short systems are done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. We will tell you how long when we quote.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Bermondsey is no exception.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. Each run is cleaned through its access panels, recording any that can’t be reached.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date is not missed.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
