Kitchen extract cleaning in Newington Butts, done properly
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. The work covers discharge points, vertical risers and canopies and hoods, and common reasons people get in touch are a kitchen with no current TR19 certificate and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Newington Butts start: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Newington Butts: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Newington Butts is normally done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Newington Butts: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records include about 292 pubs, bars and clubs and about 89 hotels and guest houses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Newington Butts. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service. Kitchens in Newington Butts get their food hygiene inspections from Southwark council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as London College of Communication tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. For kitchens close to Elephant & Castle station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

Questions from Newington Butts
Who is the fire and rescue service for Newington Butts?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Newington Butts. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you work at weekends in Newington Butts?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Newington Butts does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What do I get after the clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Newington Butts
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The number of sites or systems
- Parking and loading at the site
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The times the site is available
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Common problems we fix in Newington Butts
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so nobody could get to them. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Metropolitan Tabernacle, or anywhere in Newington Butts, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What to look for in a quote
- What insurance they carry
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the price is fixed
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. In Newington Butts, as across London, we typically work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points

Why it’s worth doing now in Newington Butts
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. Choosing the date yourself beats having a fault choose it for you.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
