Kitchen extract cleaning across Stoke Newington

Grease, kitchens and Stoke Newington

Food Standards Agency records include about 79 pubs, bars and clubs and about 5 hotels and B&Bs within about 1.5 miles of central Stoke Newington. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service. The fire and rescue service for Stoke Newington is London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.

For schools such as St Mary's Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Old Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Stoke Newington, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Stoke Newington

Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Stoke Newington give you that record for the maintenance log. The work covers plenums and filters, horizontal duct runs and extract fans, and people most often call us about an extract that no longer clears the smoke and grease dripping from the canopy or filters. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Stoke Newington? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.

BESA sets minimum intervals by hours of cooking a day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, adjusted by what the grease readings show.

London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. For a kitchen in Stoke Newington, that usually means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.

Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

When to call us in Stoke Newington

A kitchen in Stoke Newington builds up grease in the same places as any other: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Grease drips onto cooking equipment
  • A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
  • Poor airflow at the canopy
  • An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer

If you cook for passing trade around Stoke Newington station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Before you book anyone

  • Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
  • Whether they recommend a next date
  • Whether a written report and pictures are included
  • Proof of insurance

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

How it works

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. The visit itself takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Stoke Newington needs from us.

  1. First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
  2. We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
  3. Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
  4. We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
  5. Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the space around the work
  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Advice

How we price kitchen extract cleaning

The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:

  • Whether several sites go on one quote
  • The scale of the work
  • One-off work versus a regular cycle
  • What state the system is in

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.

What we need to know

There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:

  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • The site address and the type of premises
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • Wide photos of the system and the area around it

Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.

In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

FAQs for Stoke Newington

Who is the fire and rescue service for Stoke Newington?

It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers Stoke Newington. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.

Do you clean school canteen extracts around Stoke Newington out of term?

Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 37 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Stoke Newington. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we will plan around them.

When do you clean the extract?

We work around your hours. Overnight, weekend and between-service cleans are all possible and the kitchen is ready to cook when we leave.

Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?

Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.

What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?

Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.

Do you cover Stoke Newington?

Yes. We cover Stoke Newington and across Greater London, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?

The whole system: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.

How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?

Allow one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. We will confirm the time when we quote.

What happens if it’s left?

A clogged extract doesn’t only raise the fire risk. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky, while the fan works harder to move less air. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. Choosing the date yourself beats having a fault choose it for you.

Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

What you get with us

  • Photo reports with every job
  • Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
  • Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
  • One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

Multi-site and managed buildings

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.

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What a clean won’t put right

We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:

  • A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
  • Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
  • A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed

Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.

What the work covers
