TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in East Wickham
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That film is fuel, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. If you have a kitchen taken over without any extract records and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, we can put it right, from discharge points, canopies and hoods and horizontal duct runs onwards. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in East Wickham typically mean the kitchen extract, and that’s our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in East Wickham is typically done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

FAQs for East Wickham
Can parking be tricky for a job in East Wickham?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in East Wickham makes the visit easier to plan. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Do you work overnight in East Wickham?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in East Wickham needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you cover East Wickham?
Yes. East Wickham is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The times the site is available
- The condition of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How many systems or sites are involved
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in East Wickham is no exception.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about parking and loading

What happens if it’s left?
Every week without a clean adds another layer. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. Planning ahead in East Wickham lets you pick a quiet night rather than lose a busy one.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in East Wickham
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so nobody could get to them. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Stale cooking odours from the system
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in East Wickham, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Proof of insurance
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
Kitchen extract cleaning around East Wickham
Food Standards Agency records include about 36 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of East Wickham. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Food hygiene inspections in East Wickham are the job of Greenwich council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to East Wickham is Memorial Hospital, about 1.3 miles west.
