Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Canning Town
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Any section we cannot reach is recorded on the report and extra access panels can be added. If you have an extract that no longer clears the smoke and stale cooking odours from the system, we can help, from plenums and filters, extract fans and canopies and hoods onwards. Most calls from Canning Town come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
Most kitchens in Canning Town fall into one of BESA’s three bands: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. For a kitchen in Canning Town, that typically means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The times the site is available
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How big the system is
- How many systems or sites are involved
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Kitchen extracts in Canning Town
The Food Standards Agency lists about 22 pubs, bars and clubs and about 15 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses in and around Canning Town, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service. Food hygiene inspections in Canning Town are the job of Newham 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.
Where a hall near St Cedd's Church, or anywhere in Canning Town, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Rosetta Primary School or anywhere near Canning Town, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you cook for passing trade around Custom House station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.
Why it’s worth doing now in Canning Town
Leaving the clean until the next refit doesn’t make the grease go away. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, and that takes more work to shift. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. A busy site in Canning Town builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Canning Town: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for Canning Town?
Canning Town is in the area of London Fire Brigade. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Canning Town out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 45 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Canning Town. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. Most jobs take a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is 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.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
What the work involves, part by part
Grease filters
A filter that is missing or bent lets grease straight past. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that don’t.
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Canning Town.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
