Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in North End
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and each part collects grease. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are often asked to deal with grease dripping from the canopy or filters and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs, across plenums and filters, extract fans and discharge points. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in North End typically mean the kitchen extract, and that is exactly what we do: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: wet film or deposit thickness readings show which parts of the duct need the most attention, and readings afterwards go into your report.
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. In North End, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

North End: your questions answered
Can school kitchens in North End be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 19 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of North End, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can parking be tricky for a job in North End?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in North End makes the visit easier to plan. If the building has a loading slot system, we’ll book into it.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
The clean is done when the kitchen isn’t cooking, working evenings, overnight or at weekends to suit you. We need the equipment switched off and cooled first.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Can you price the work without visiting?
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 will say so.

North End kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 30 pubs, bars and clubs across North End and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. The fire and rescue service for North End is London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Food hygiene inspections in North End are the job of Bexley council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St. Paul's (Slade Green) Church of England Primary School or anywhere near North End, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Church and community hall kitchens, near St. Augustine's Church or anywhere around North End, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Local landmarks in North End

When to call us in North End
The type of cooking changes the amount of grease. 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.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
A hospital like Erith and District Hospital, about 1.4 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in North End is typically out of hours.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before work begins.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The scale of the work
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your last certificate, test record or report

Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as pictures. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
How the job changes from site to site
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. Access panels along the riser let us clean it in sections.
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
