TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Dagenham Dock
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. If you are dealing with extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction, we can help, from plenums and filters, vertical risers and canopies and hoods onwards. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but in Dagenham Dock, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, so that is where most of the work in Dagenham Dock goes.
Kitchens in Dagenham Dock, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When to call us in Dagenham Dock
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Barking Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Dagenham Dock, about 2.3 miles north-west.
What your quote should include
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as pictures. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
FAQs for Dagenham Dock
Which fire authority looks after Dagenham Dock?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Dagenham Dock. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Dagenham Dock?
Kitchens in Dagenham Dock are inspected by Barking and Dagenham council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
The clean is done when the kitchen is not cooking, working evenings, overnight or at weekends to suit you. Equipment needs to be off and cool before any work starts.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19 is not written into law, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
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 does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
The whole system: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we can’t reach is recorded on the report.
How the job changes from site to site
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that do not.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service isn’t an option for most restaurants and pubs. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Dagenham Dock.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Dagenham Dock
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The number of sites or systems
- How easy every part is to reach
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
