Common questions in Blendon
What do you need to know about parking in Blendon?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Do you work at weekends in Blendon?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Blendon doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
How long will the clean take?
Allow a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Blendon, done properly
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and each part collects grease. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. If you have stale cooking odours from the system and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction, we can put it right. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a system that is clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Blendon 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Grease, kitchens and Blendon
There are about 189 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 85 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Blendon, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. London Fire Brigade covers Blendon. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. It’s Bexley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Blendon. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St James the Great or elsewhere in Blendon, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. For schools such as Blackfen School for Girls, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run a café or takeaway near Albany Park station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

It takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and we fit around your opening hours. Every extra month adds grease. In Blendon, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.

Take a look at what affects the cost and our accreditations.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The condition of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any previous report or certificate
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, and equipment can be switched back on once we have gone.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
What else we do in Blendon
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. If your building in Blendon 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.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
