Kitchen Extract Cleaning in Kingsland
Professional kitchen extract cleaning in and around Kingsland, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and photos.
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Most London sites cannot stop for the day, so work in Kingsland is usually done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- 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.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

About our kitchen extract cleaning in Kingsland
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 layer will burn, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. Common call-outs are for grease smells coming from the extract and ductwork thick with old, hardened grease, on extract fans, canopies and hoods and vertical risers. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a system that is clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Sections without access panels are recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted so they’re cleaned next time.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. In Kingsland, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Why it’s worth doing now in Kingsland
TR19® isn’t law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. In Kingsland, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Common problems we fix in Kingsland
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
Clients usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Holy Trinity Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Before booking anyone

- What insurance they carry
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the figure could change on the day
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.

Questions from Kingsland
Can you come to Kingsland after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Kingsland can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How do you handle parking and loading in Kingsland?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, which grease thickness testing will show.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
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.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. Without proof, a claim can be refused or reduced, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
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 to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers

Kingsland kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 1,074 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 250 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Kingsland, up to about a mile and a half out. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. In Kingsland, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Hackney council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
Where a hall near Holy Trinity Church, or anywhere in Kingsland, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. A kitchen near Dalston Junction station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
