Kitchen extract cleaning for sites in St George in the East
What a clean will not put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- A fan motor that has burnt out
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Kitchen extract cleaning in St George in the East, done properly
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That film is fuel, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. The work covers discharge points, extract fans and canopies and hoods, and common reasons people get in touch are proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer. When a restaurant in St George in the East asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, which is why a TR19® clean in St George in the East goes well beyond the canopy.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in St George in the East is usually done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures 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.

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. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. Planning ahead in St George in the East lets you pick a quiet night rather than lose a busy one.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

Part by part
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
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 are happy to quote for all of it.
The process
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Expect the work in St George in the East to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- You send pictures 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.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in St George in the East
Who inspects food businesses in St George in the East?
That’s Tower Hamlets council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in St George in the East. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Which fire service covers St George in the East?
Fire safety enforcement in St George in the East is handled by London Fire Brigade. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.

Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.

We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in St George in the East
Look up St George in the East on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 1,767 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 687 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of St George in the East. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. St George in the East 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. Kitchens in St George in the East get their food hygiene inspections from Tower Hamlets council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Peter's or elsewhere in St George in the East, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like The Royal London Hospital about 0.7 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. For kitchens close to Shadwell station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
You leave with a date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date is not missed.
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.
