About our kitchen extract cleaning in Chinbrook
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and grease settles in every one of them. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. The work covers horizontal duct runs, plenums and filters and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are years of baked-on grease in the ducts and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Chinbrook normally mean the kitchen extract, and that’s exactly what we do: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
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 Chinbrook goes well beyond the canopy.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Chinbrook is typically done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Chinbrook and across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, 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. On site, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we’re happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Chinbrook.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, so grease readings help set the right interval.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters

Kitchen extracts in Chinbrook
The Food Standards Agency lists about 16 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses in Chinbrook and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Chinbrook is covered by London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Food hygiene inspections in Chinbrook are the job of Lewisham council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Eltham Community Hospital (about 1.6 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Marvels Lane Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Jubilee International Church, or anywhere in Chinbrook, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Chinbrook is about 1 mile south-west of Eltham, in Greater London. From the centre of Chinbrook to the outskirts, we cover kitchen extract cleaning for every kind of premises, from small sites to large estates.

What else we do in Chinbrook
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
Any section without access is marked on the report. That is part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
Why deal with it now?
Any food business in Chinbrook can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters will not go unnoticed. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. Choosing the date yourself beats having a fault choose it for you.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The times the site is available
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Travel, parking and unloading
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The site address and the type of premises
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
FAQs for Chinbrook
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Chinbrook?
The local authority for Chinbrook is Lewisham council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you work at weekends in Chinbrook?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Chinbrook doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. We’ll recommend a date after measuring the grease.

A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.

Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
