Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Dial Post
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers extract fans, discharge points and horizontal duct runs, and people most often call us about extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but in Dial Post, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Dial Post: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
For a kitchen in or near Dial Post, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How the job changes from site to site
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
Extract fan and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to cut noise, and they hold grease. We clean what can be reached and note anything that can’t.
Common questions in Dial Post
Is Dial Post within the area you cover?
Yes, Dial Post is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you come to Dial Post after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Dial Post can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Common problems we fix in Dial Post
A kitchen in Dial Post builds up grease in the same places as any other: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
In and around Dial Post, as anywhere, the clean ends with a TR19® certificate and a photo report.

When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains

Managing agents and facilities teams in Dial Post
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, which is slower to clean. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
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’ll have a fixed price before we start.
Why us?
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Photo reports with every job
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Member of BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
What staff can safely do
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.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

The process
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Somewhere as small as Dial Post, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
