Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Cubitt Town
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. If you are dealing with an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and grease dripping from the canopy or filters, we can put it right. When a restaurant in Cubitt Town asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
In a London area like Cubitt Town, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, 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.

What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
The clean is done when the kitchen is not cooking, so evenings, overnight, early mornings and weekends are all options. We need the equipment switched off and cooled first.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
You receive 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 pictures, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Cubitt Town: the local picture
Food Standards Agency data counts about 529 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 138 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Cubitt Town, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too. Kitchens in Cubitt Town get their food hygiene inspections from Greenwich council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you cook for passing trade around Canary Wharf station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. School kitchens, at schools like Cubitt Town Infants' School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Christ Church or elsewhere in Cubitt Town, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
What a clean won’t put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning will not do:
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on in Cubitt Town
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs

What happens if it’s left?
Any food business in Cubitt Town can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. In Cubitt Town, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Different parts, different methods
Ductwork and risers
Long flat runs of duct are where grease collects. Each run is cleaned through its access panels, recording any that can’t be reached.
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and put back so they seat correctly. We will tell you if any need replacing.
What affects the quote in Cubitt Town
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition we find in the survey
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Cubitt Town and across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it 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 Cubitt Town.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before we start.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
