Kitchen extract cleaning in Slade Green, done properly
We’ve been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. If you have a kitchen taken over without any extract records and fat running down the canopy edge, we can help, from horizontal duct runs, discharge points and plenums and filters onwards. Most calls from Slade Green come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, so that’s where most of the work in Slade Green goes.
Kitchens in Slade Green, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as pictures. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
Common problems we fix in Slade Green
The reason for all this is fire. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. For a kitchen in Slade Green, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Fat running down the canopy edge
Term dates shape school work: for a school like St. Paul's (Slade Green) Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What your quote should include
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Proof of insurance

- Whether a written report and photos are included
Grease, kitchens and Slade Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 71 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 67 takeaways and sandwich shops across Slade Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Slade Green sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Slade Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Bexley council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St. Augustine's Church or anywhere around Slade Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. A hospital like Joyce Green Hospital, about 1.3 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we’re happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Slade Green.
- We survey the system, from your photos 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.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Questions from Slade Green
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Slade Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Slade Green are carried out by Bexley council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
How do you handle parking and loading in Slade Green?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. If the building has a loading slot system, we’ll book into it.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Typically, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we are fully insured.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
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.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Slade Green
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
What happens if it’s left?
Any food business in Slade Green can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters won’t go unnoticed. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. In Slade Green, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
