Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Limmo Peninsula
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. The work covers extract fans, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are an extract that no longer clears the smoke and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in Limmo Peninsula covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, with grease readings setting the real interval.
In a London area like Limmo Peninsula, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
Duct Doctor has 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 carry full insurance.

FAQs for Limmo Peninsula
Who inspects food businesses in Limmo Peninsula?
That is Newham council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Limmo Peninsula. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Which fire authority looks after Limmo Peninsula?
Limmo Peninsula is in the area of London Fire Brigade. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
BESA guidance sets minimums by daily cooking hours: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Measured grease levels set the real interval.
What accreditations do you hold?
We are members of Vent Hygiene Elite, the scheme run by BESCA, and we clean to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Where there are not enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
How it works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Limmo Peninsula needs from us.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning will not do:
- An undersized canopy or fan

- Damaged duct sections that need replacing

What we’re called out for in Limmo Peninsula
In Limmo Peninsula, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
For kitchens close to Custom House station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
Questions to ask before you book
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Proof of insurance
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Kitchen extract cleaning around Limmo Peninsula
Food Standards Agency data counts about 465 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 172 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Limmo Peninsula. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. The fire and rescue service for Limmo Peninsula is London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In London, kitchens are normally cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier.
Where a hall near Church of St Luke, or anywhere in Limmo Peninsula, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Luke's Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Limmo Peninsula is about 1 mile west of Canning Town, in Greater London. Sites in Limmo Peninsula get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with photos.

Near you in Limmo Peninsula
Around Limmo Peninsula, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Tower Hamlets College, Rokeby School and Bridge House and the streets around them. Limmo Peninsula’s nearest station is Custom House station, about 0.8 miles east of the centre. A little further out are Stratford Centre (2.2 miles north) and Greenwich Castle (2.3 miles south). The countryside around Limmo Peninsula includes Hollow Pond and Lavender Pond.
What happens if it’s left?
Every week without a clean adds another layer. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean straight away. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. For a site in Limmo Peninsula, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date is not missed.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t 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.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
