Honest limits
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Kitchen extract cleaning in Peckham Bush, done properly
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Anything out of reach is noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted. Common call-outs are for fat running down the canopy edge and grease smells coming from the extract, on discharge points, plenums and filters and horizontal duct runs. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from Peckham Bush start: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
In a village or hamlet like Peckham Bush, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

It’s Tonbridge and Malling council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Peckham Bush.

- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service is not an option for most restaurants and pubs. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Extract fan and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to cut noise, and they hold grease. We clean what can be reached and note anything that cannot.
When to call us in Peckham Bush
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 those sections were never reached. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Peckham Bush (Old Soar Manor is about 3.8 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care.
