Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Sutton
Does London parking affect a job in Sutton?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit typically gets round them.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Sutton?
Fire safety enforcement in Sutton is handled by London Fire Brigade. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Often, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. As a guide, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Sutton
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in Sutton, our certificate and photo report give you that record for the maintenance log. The work covers canopies and hoods, extract fans and vertical risers, and common reasons people get in touch are a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer and an extract that no longer clears the smoke. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Sutton usually mean the kitchen extract, and that’s our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
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 the same readings after the clean show the result.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. For a kitchen in Sutton, that typically means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What the work involves, part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
A pub or restaurant can’t afford to cancel a service for a clean. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Extract fan and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. We clean what can be reached and note anything that can’t.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Extract fans
- Canopies and hoods
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters

Kitchen extracts in Sutton
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 33 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Sutton. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading is not affected. The fire and rescue service for Sutton is London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Robin Hood Junior School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St Helier Hospital is the nearest hospital to Sutton, about 1.1 miles north-east.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- The times the site is available
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Then call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What we’re called out for in Sutton
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Nicholas Church, or anywhere in Sutton, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What to look for in a quote
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Proof of insurance
- What paperwork you get at the end
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Sutton needs from us.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
Advice
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Keep the baffle filters clean
Every clean ends with a photo report. It shows the system before and after, part by part, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Sutton
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
