Kitchen Extract Cleaning in Goddington
For TR19 Grease cleaning of complete kitchen extract systems, from canopy to discharge in Goddington, one call is all it takes, from survey to sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.

- Stale cooking odours from the system
Why it’s worth doing now in Goddington
Every week without a clean adds another layer. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. In Goddington, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.

Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Goddington
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with pictures of the canopy and filters, and we’ll come back with a fixed price for the work in Goddington, usually within one working day. Typical jobs include a kitchen taken over without any extract records and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction, across plenums and filters, discharge points and horizontal duct runs. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Goddington, you get one team and one number for every site, wherever you are in Greater London.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Goddington is usually done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

FAQs for Goddington
Can you work in Goddington outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Goddington can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Goddington?
The local authority for Goddington is Bromley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
Do you work in Goddington?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Goddington included.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
We clean every part the grease travels through. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where necessary.
Can you quote from photos?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
Grease, kitchens and Goddington
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 10 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Goddington. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service. London Fire Brigade covers Goddington. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like The Highway Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. A kitchen near Chelsfield station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Goddington
A kitchen in Goddington builds up grease in the same places as any other: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
Where a hall near Christ Church, or anywhere in Goddington, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Wash or exchange the filters often
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, which slows build-up further down the system.
Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. They’re cleaned through access points along their height.
How the visit works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and we clear up before we go. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Goddington.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will normally have a quote within one working day.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
