Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in New Eltham
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with photos of the canopy and filters, and we’ll come back with a fixed price for the work in New Eltham, normally within one working day. If you have a kitchen taken over without any extract records and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, we can put it right. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in New Eltham usually mean the kitchen extract, and that is exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
A clean in New Eltham covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. In New Eltham, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Kitchen extracts in New Eltham
Look up New Eltham on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 121 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 44 takeaways and sandwich shops across New Eltham and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. London jobs normally start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first. The fire and rescue service for New Eltham is London Fire Brigade. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Eltham Community Hospital about 1.1 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. A kitchen near New Eltham station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in New Eltham?
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.
What we are most often called out for:
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
Church and community hall kitchens, near All Saints Church or anywhere around New Eltham, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What your quote should include
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Proof of insurance
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report

What else we do in New Eltham
New Eltham questions
Can the work in New Eltham be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in New Eltham can fit around your hours. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in New Eltham?
In New Eltham, it’s Greenwich council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
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. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
Everything from canopy to discharge: the canopy, the plenum behind the filters, the filters, horizontal ducts, vertical risers, the fan and the discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we can’t reach is recorded on the report.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after photos, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Part by part
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
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
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in New Eltham.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Get a fixed quote
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
A clogged extract doesn’t only raise the fire risk. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier, while the fan works harder to move less air. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. In New Eltham, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.
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 will explain each part.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What affects the quote in New Eltham
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition we find in the survey
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate
- The site address and the type of premises
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
