How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Welling
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report and extra access panels can be added. If you have an extract that no longer clears the smoke and years of baked-on grease in the ducts, we can put it right. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in Welling covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Welling is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the quote in Welling
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
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. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Welling
There are about 139 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 93 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Welling, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. In Welling, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Bexley council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Welling falls to 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St John's Church, or anywhere in Welling, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. A hospital like Bexley Hospital, about 0.9 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Why deal with it now?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. For a site in Welling, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Welling questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Welling?
Food hygiene inspections in Welling are carried out by Bexley council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Is parking a problem for work in Welling?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Welling makes the visit easier to plan. If the building has a loading slot system, we’ll book into it.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Welling and across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Welling
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.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
A kitchen near Welling station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
Questions to ask before booking
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- What insurance they carry
How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Before any visit in Welling, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
