Kitchen Extract Cleaning in Homerton
Kitchen extract cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Homerton. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.

The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Expect the work in Homerton to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from 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.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Kitchen duct cleaning in Homerton
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Send a few photos of the canopy and filters when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and you will have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Homerton, typically within one working day. The work covers discharge points, extract fans and plenums and filters, and the jobs we see most are heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Homerton, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
Kitchens in Homerton, 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.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Other services in Homerton
For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Keep the baffle filters clean
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Homerton questions
Do you work overnight in Homerton?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Homerton can fit around your hours. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Can school kitchens in Homerton be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Homerton, the Food Standards Agency lists about 24 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will fit the work in.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What is TR19?
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.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Is Homerton in your area?
Yes. We work in Homerton and the rest of Greater London, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
What affects the quote in Homerton
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Travel, parking and unloading
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Kitchen extracts in Homerton
Look up Homerton on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 629 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 170 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Homerton. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service. Homerton is covered by London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Church and community hall kitchens, near United Reformed Church or anywhere around Homerton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Rushmore Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Homerton University Hospital (about within half a mile south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Near you in Homerton
Typical jobs here are in premises near Newcome's School, The Plough Inn and Millfields Park. Homerton has its own railway station: Homerton station. Nearby you’ll also find Tower of London (3.3 miles south) and Clowns Gallery-Museum (1.2 miles south-west). For a walk, there’s Hollow Pond and Tower Hill.
Why it’s worth doing now in Homerton
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, which is slower to clean. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. Every month a London system goes without attention adds to what has to be done later.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens often cook for long hours, frying and grilling, which can put them in BESA’s 3 or 6-monthly bands. We clean after close or before opening.
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.
