Kitchen extract cleaning in Nunhead, done properly
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. For a kitchen in Nunhead, our certificate and photo report give you that record for the maintenance log. If you are dealing with a kitchen taken over without any extract records and rancid smells from grease in the duct, we can put it right. Most calls from Nunhead come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Nunhead is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Why act early in Nunhead
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. For a site in Nunhead, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

What a clean will not put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on in Nunhead
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
- Extract fans
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Nunhead
The reason for all this is fire. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. For a kitchen in Nunhead, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Southwark Adult Education Institute (about 0.7 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.

- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.

Advice
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Nunhead
Can you come to Nunhead after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
What do you need to know about parking in Nunhead?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Nunhead makes the visit easier to plan. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
How do you 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.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Where there aren’t enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, so you can start cooking as normal.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
