Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Ladywell
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and each part collects grease. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. If you are dealing with a kitchen taken over without any extract records and grease dripping from the canopy or filters, we can put it right, from extract fans, horizontal duct runs and canopies and hoods onwards. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Ladywell? We’ve been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Ladywell is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Part by part
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.

What else we do in Ladywell
What affects the quote in Ladywell
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The scale of the work
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The site address and the type of premises
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
What happens on the day
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 as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Ladywell needs from us.
- 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, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Advice
Why deal with it now?
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. 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. A busy site in Ladywell builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Ladywell: the local picture
Look up Ladywell on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 297 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 186 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Ladywell. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Environmental health officers from Lewisham council inspect food businesses in Ladywell. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Ladywell sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Where a hall near Church of St Mary the Virgin, or anywhere in Ladywell, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Mary's Lewisham Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Commuter trade near Ladywell station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

FAQs for Ladywell
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Ladywell out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 45 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Ladywell. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you work at weekends in Ladywell?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Ladywell needn’t be disturbed. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
We clean every part the grease travels through. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where needed.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
A small kitchen with a short duct can be done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Keep the baffle filters clean
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
