How kitchen extract cleaning works in BH21

Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. Common call-outs are for extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and grease drips onto cooking equipment, across extract fans, horizontal duct runs and discharge points.

The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.

  1. We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
  2. Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
  3. On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
  4. Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
  5. Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.

Kitchen extracts across BH21

In BH21, we work in places such as Broxhill and well beyond. We cover every place we list for BH21, 1 in all, and kitchens are cleaned around their opening hours, overnight and at weekends included.

Across England, including BH21, the responsible person has a legal duty to assess and reduce fire risk, and a TR19® certificate and photo report give you a record of the work.

Broxhill: Whether the kitchen is in Broxhill itself or nearby, a TR19® clean covers the whole system, canopy to discharge. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St James or elsewhere in Broxhill, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Aftercare tips

To keep the system working properly between visits:

  • Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
  • Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
  • Run the extract fan throughout cooking
  • Keep grease collection points emptied

The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.

Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning

Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Site rules, permits and inductions
  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
  • One-off work versus a regular cycle
  • Where the site is and how we reach it

Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

What to send for a quote

Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:

  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
  • Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site

What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
  • An undersized canopy or fan
  • Damaged duct sections that need replacing

Why deal with it now?

An overdue clean in BH21 is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. The job takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you do not lose a service. Every extra month adds grease.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
  • What’s included in the scope, part by part
  • Proof of insurance
  • What paperwork you get at the end

Common problems we fix in BH21

Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and from there it travels on to the fan.

Any of these means the system needs a check-up:

  • Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
  • A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
  • A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
  • Grease smells coming from the extract

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in BH21

Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?

Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.

What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?

Everything from canopy to discharge: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we cannot reach is recorded on the report.

What is TR19?

It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
