Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Didling
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and each part collects grease. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. The work covers extract fans, discharge points and vertical risers, and common reasons people get in touch are heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and a system with no record of a TR19 clean. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Didling questions
Can the work in Didling be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Didling doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Do you cover smaller places like Didling?
Yes. Didling is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
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. As a guide, it takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Didling, let us know and we will plan around it.
- You send pictures 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.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date is not missed.
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.
When to call us in Didling
In Didling, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: 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.
What we are most often called out for:
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Andrew or anywhere around Didling, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

How the job changes from site to site
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
Extract fan and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. We clean what can be reached and note anything that cannot.
What happens if it’s left?
Any food business in Didling 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. If the system at a site near Didling fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
