Kitchen Extract Cleaning in Plaistow Green
TR19 grease cleaning of complete kitchen extract systems, from canopy to discharge for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Plaistow Green. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Poor airflow at the canopy
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
Any section without access is marked on the report. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
About our kitchen extract cleaning in Plaistow Green
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Send a few pictures of the canopy and filters when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and you will have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in Plaistow Green, normally within one working day. If you have a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract, we can put it right. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but in Plaistow Green, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
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 the same readings after the clean show the result.
Work in a small place like Plaistow Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What affects the quote in Plaistow Green
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- What state the system is in
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’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What we do, step by step
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 as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Plaistow Green knowing what to expect.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- 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.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Plaistow Green
Can the work in Plaistow Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Plaistow Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you cover smaller places like Plaistow Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
The whole system: the canopy, the plenum behind the filters, the filters, horizontal ducts, vertical risers, the fan and the discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix

Kitchen extract cleaning in Plaistow Green: the local picture
