What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The postcode and the type of business
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Kitchen duct cleaning in Grove Park
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Send a few photos of the canopy and filters when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and you will have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Grove Park, usually within one working day. We’re often asked to deal with grease smells coming from the extract and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate, on plenums and filters, discharge points and horizontal duct runs. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Grove Park usually mean the kitchen extract, and that’s exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, which is why a TR19® clean in Grove Park goes well beyond the canopy.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Grove Park is usually done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Why act early in Grove Park
Grease that’s left only gets thicker. 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. Leaving it on a busy London site only adds to the work.
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 work begins.

The process
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 the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Grove Park.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.

A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service. In Grove Park, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Lewisham council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.

Which environmental health team covers Grove Park?

How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
Is Grove Park in your area?
Yes. Grove Park is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
When to call us in Grove Park
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Filters that are bent, badly fitted, missing or left uncleaned let more fat into the plenum and duct, and from there it travels on to the fan.
What we are most often called out for:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Augustine's Church or anywhere around Grove Park, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Before you book anyone
- When the next visit should be, and why
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- If they look at the system before pricing
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- An undersized canopy or fan
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- A fan motor that has burnt out
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on in Grove Park
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
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.
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.
