How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Peckham
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That film is fuel, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. If you’re dealing with a kitchen taken over without any extract records and grease smells coming from the extract, we can help, from vertical risers, extract fans and plenums and filters onwards. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Peckham? We’ve been cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
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 London area like Peckham, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
The process
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. For a job in Peckham, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the pictures. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight with as little disruption as possible.
Grease filters
A filter that’s missing or bent lets grease straight past. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that don’t.
Peckham kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 88 pubs, bars and clubs and about 8 hotels and guest houses as registered food businesses in Peckham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. In Peckham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Southwark council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. London jobs typically start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.
Commuter trade near Queens Road Peckham station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near All Saints Church or elsewhere in Peckham, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Bursars and site managers at schools such as John Donne Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Why deal with it now?
Any food business in Peckham can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. A clean extract is one less thing to worry about on the day. London sites work long hours, and the longer a job is left, the bigger it gets.
