How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Haggerston
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. 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. Common call-outs are for an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate, across discharge points, canopies and hoods and horizontal duct runs. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Haggerston, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
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.
Kitchens in Haggerston, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Parking and loading at the site
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How big the system is
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The site address and the type of premises
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service is not an option for most restaurants and pubs. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Extract fan and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. We clean what can be reached and note anything that can’t.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and we clear up before we go. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Haggerston is normally out of hours.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give 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.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.

What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Haggerston
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 279 pubs, bars and clubs and about 35 hotels and B&Bs across Haggerston and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Fire safety in Haggerston falls to London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St Leonard's Hospital is the nearest hospital to Haggerston, about under half a mile south. School kitchens, at schools like Randal Cremer Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run a café or takeaway near Hoxton station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

What a clean won’t put right
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It won’t put right:
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
What happens if it’s left?
A clogged extract doesn’t only raise the fire risk. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. In a London building, a problem in a duct, damper or fan rarely stays in one unit.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Haggerston questions
How do you handle parking and loading in Haggerston?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Haggerston makes the visit easier to plan. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Haggerston?
That is London Fire Brigade. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Haggerston?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will usually reply within one working day.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. Without proof, a claim can be refused or reduced, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
