Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Petts Wood
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and each part collects grease. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. If you’re dealing with poor airflow at the canopy and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs, we can put it right. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across Greater London.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Petts Wood: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Petts Wood is typically done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What happens if it’s left?
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky, while the fan works harder to move less air. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. In Petts Wood, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Petts Wood?
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. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
If you cook for passing trade around Petts Wood station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- An undersized canopy or fan
- A fan motor that has burnt out
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
- Discharge points
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Wash or exchange the filters often
Any section without access is marked on the report. That’s part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe isn’t a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
FAQs for Petts Wood
Can you work in Petts Wood outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Petts Wood keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which fire authority looks after Petts Wood?
That is London Fire Brigade. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.

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.
Do you work in Petts Wood?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Petts Wood included.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What do I get after the clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
If your staff spot something 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.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Petts Wood
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The scale of the work
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
