Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Bulphan
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and each part collects grease. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. If you are dealing with a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction, we can put it right. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Bulphan, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
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 Bulphan goes well beyond the canopy.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Bulphan is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Bulphan
Which environmental health team covers Bulphan?
In Bulphan, it’s Thurrock 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 work in Bulphan outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Bulphan needn’t be disturbed. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. If photos are not enough, we will survey first.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
The legal duty sits in the Fire Safety Order 2005 rather than in TR19 itself. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and an insurer may refuse or reduce a claim without it.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The scale of the work
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
No two sites are the same, 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.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any previous report or certificate
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Want a quote for kitchen extract cleaning? Please phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site. We’ll talk you through the work and send you a fixed quote before anything is booked.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Keep grease collection points emptied
You get a photo report after every clean. Before and after photos show each part of the system, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.
Grease filters
A filter that is missing or bent lets grease straight past. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that do not.

What else we do in Bulphan
What we are called out for in Bulphan
In Bulphan, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
Clients normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Bulphan Church of England Academy tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
What we do, step by step
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we are happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Bulphan.
- 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.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
