How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in New Addington
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. The certificate and photo report from each clean in New Addington give you that record for the maintenance log. Common call-outs are for poor airflow at the canopy and a system with no record of a TR19 clean, across extract fans, plenums and filters and canopies and hoods. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in New Addington covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. For a kitchen in New Addington, that typically means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

FAQs for New Addington
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in New Addington?
Fire safety enforcement in New Addington is handled by London Fire Brigade. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can parking be tricky for a job in New Addington?
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.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
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.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before we start.
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in New Addington and across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

Kitchen extract cleaning in New Addington: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 pubs and bars in and around New Addington, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. In London, kitchens are typically cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier. Environmental health officers from Croydon council inspect food businesses in New Addington. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Rowdown Primary School or anywhere near New Addington, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Warlingham Park Hospital is the nearest hospital to New Addington, about 1.8 miles south.

What happens on the day
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. The work itself takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in New Addington.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Find the previous report, if there is one

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- The scale of the work
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition of the system
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. 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 outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in New Addington?
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so those sections were never reached. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Clients typically contact us when they notice one of these:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Stale cooking odours from the system
Historic houses near New Addington, such as Addington Palace about 1.5 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
Before booking anyone

What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
