Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Malden Rushett

The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:

  • Site rules, permits and inductions
  • One-off work versus a regular cycle
  • Whether several sites go on one quote
  • Travel, parking and unloading

No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Malden Rushett

Across Malden Rushett, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. If you have rancid smells from grease in the duct and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, we can put it right, from canopies and hoods, plenums and filters and horizontal duct runs onwards. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Malden Rushett covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.

Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, which is why a TR19® clean in Malden Rushett goes well beyond the canopy.

Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. For a kitchen in Malden Rushett, that normally means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.

We’ve 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.

Kitchen extracts in Malden Rushett

Look up Malden Rushett on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 31 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 4 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Malden Rushett, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. Malden Rushett is covered by London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.

Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Epsom Cottage Hospital (about 0.8 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. School kitchens, at schools like Chessington Community College for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Malden Rushett is about 2 miles north of Ashtead, in Greater London.

Why act early in Malden Rushett

If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A certificate in the file answers that question. In Malden Rushett, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.

What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

What the work involves, part by part

Restaurant and pub kitchens

High-heat cooking loads the extract with grease, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.

Canopy and plenum

Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.

How it works

We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Most London sites can’t stop for the day, so work in Malden Rushett is usually done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.

  1. We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
  2. We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
  3. Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
  4. The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
  5. Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move anything stored near the system
  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Related advice

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

When something else is needed

To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:

  • Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
  • An undersized canopy or fan
  • A duct that’s holed or coming apart

If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Where we work

  • Horizontal duct runs
  • Discharge points
  • Vertical risers
  • Plenums and filters
  • Canopies and hoods
  • Extract fans

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Malden Rushett

What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.

What we are most often called out for:

  • A system with no record of a TR19 clean
  • An extract that no longer clears the smoke
  • A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
  • Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit

Fitznells Manor, about 3.1 miles east, is one of the historic houses near Malden Rushett; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether VAT is included
  • How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
  • If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
  • Whether they recommend a next date

Choosing a duct cleaning contractor

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Malden Rushett

Does London parking affect a job in Malden Rushett?

We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. If the building has a loading slot system, we’ll book into it.

Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Malden Rushett?

Fire safety enforcement in Malden Rushett is handled by London Fire Brigade. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.

What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?

You get both a certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.

Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?

Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.

How long will the clean take?

Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. Most jobs take a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system.

What information do you need?

Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?

No law names TR19 directly, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.

Where does the waste go?

We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
