Silvertown kitchen extract cleaning
Looking for kitchen extract cleaning in Silvertown? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around your hours, then sign off with a report and pictures.
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
Why deal with it now?
Every week without a clean adds another layer. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean right away. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. A booked night’s work in Silvertown costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Why us?
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Fully insured
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Silvertown
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. We’re often asked to deal with a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract, on extract fans, discharge points and canopies and hoods. When a restaurant in Silvertown asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is our main job: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Silvertown is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is 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.

The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. If your building in Silvertown has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear the space around the work
How to get a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Advice
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How big the system is
- The times the site is available
- Travel, parking and unloading
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
Common problems we fix in Silvertown
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and from there it travels on to the fan.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Poor airflow at the canopy
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Britannia Village Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What hours they’ll be on site
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- When the next visit should be, and why
Common questions in Silvertown
What do you need to know about parking in Silvertown?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Silvertown, and about any building rules on loading. Working overnight, as we often do in London, typically makes it simpler.
Which environmental health team covers Silvertown?
The local authority for Silvertown is Newham council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
When the kitchen is closed, at whatever time suits you. We need the equipment cool, and we leave the kitchen ready to cook.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Silvertown?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
How long will the clean take?
It takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.

What else we do in Silvertown
For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Kitchen extracts in Silvertown
Look up Silvertown on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 269 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 108 takeaways in and around Silvertown, up to about a mile and a half out. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Food hygiene inspections in Silvertown are the job of Newham council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Silvertown is London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Albert Dock Seamen's Hospital about 0.9 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. A kitchen near Custom House station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning won’t do:
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on in Silvertown
- Vertical risers
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs
- Plenums and filters
- Discharge points
- Canopies and hoods
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.
