Kitchen extract cleaning in Leeds, Kent

What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- An undersized canopy or fan

Kitchen duct cleaning in Leeds
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and grease settles in every one of them. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Typical jobs include stale cooking odours from the system and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19, across vertical risers, plenums and filters and extract fans. When a restaurant in Leeds asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that’s our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
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.
In a village or hamlet like Leeds, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Kitchen extracts in Leeds
Look up Leeds on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 6 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Leeds and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. The fire and rescue service for Leeds is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. 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. It’s Maidstone council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Leeds. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as KIMS hospital (about 3.4 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Nicholas's Church or elsewhere in Leeds, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Leeds: your questions answered
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Leeds out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Leeds. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
Is Leeds within the area you cover?
Yes. Leeds is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How long will the 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. We’ll tell you how long when we quote.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Leeds?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
When to call us in Leeds
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, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
For schools such as Leeds and Broomfield Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Before you book anyone
- Whether they’re fully insured
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Different parts, different methods
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The scale of the work
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Why it’s worth doing now in Leeds
An overdue clean in Leeds is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. The job takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you do not lose a service. Waiting only adds grease and risk. If the system at a site near Leeds fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
What you get with us
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Fully insured
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Photo reports with every job

Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

The process
On the day, we arrive 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 before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. For a village or hamlet like Leeds, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
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
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
