Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Single Street
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in Single Street, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. We’re often asked to deal with fat running down the canopy edge and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction, across canopies and hoods, vertical risers and plenums and filters. Extraction cleaning, hood cleaning and TR19 duct cleaning all end up in the same place: a clean that goes past the canopy into the duct and fan, backed by a certificate.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. For a kitchen in Single Street, that typically means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
What we are called out for in Single Street
The reason for all this is fire. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. That is why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Down House is about 1 mile north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether a survey comes first
- How they set the interval to the next visit

Single Street: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Single Street?
Food hygiene inspections in Single Street are carried out by Bromley council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you work overnight in Single Street?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Single Street keeps running as normal. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after photos, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
Is Single Street in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in Single Street, as part of our area across London and the South East.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- What state the system is in
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Parking and loading at the site
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any previous report or certificate
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Wash or exchange the filters often
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as photos. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A fan motor that has burnt out
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
