About our kitchen extract cleaning in Bromley
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you have a kitchen taken over without any extract records and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate, we can help. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Bromley? We have been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, so that is where most of the work in Bromley goes.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Bromley is typically 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’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Bromley
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The size of the system
- The condition we find in the survey
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- A few general shots of the system
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Why deal with it now?
Every week without a clean adds another layer. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. Every month a London system goes without attention adds to what has to be done later.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What you get with us

How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Before any visit in Bromley, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from 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.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Canopies and hoods
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. That’s part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
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.
Nearby places to Bromley

Grease, kitchens and Bromley
There are about 543 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 199 takeaways in and around Bromley, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Food hygiene inspections in Bromley are the job of Tower Hamlets council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. In London, kitchens are usually cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier.
School kitchens, at schools like St Agnes RC Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Bow Church or elsewhere in Bromley, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. A hospital like St Clement's Hospital, about 0.5 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Bromley is about 2 miles east of Whitechapel, in Greater London. Every kind of commercial site in Bromley, kitchen extract cleaning is something we can help with.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Bromley
Is parking a problem for work in Bromley?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
Which environmental health team covers Bromley?
In Bromley, it’s Tower Hamlets council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Is Bromley in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in Bromley, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. We need the equipment cool, and we leave the kitchen ready to cook.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Different parts, different methods
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.
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
