Kitchen extract cleaning in CM13: how it works
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Anything out of reach is noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted. The work covers plenums and filters, vertical risers and canopies and hoods, and the jobs we see most are proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history.
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.

Kitchen extract cleaning across CM13: local notes
Across CM13, from Brentwood, Great Berry and Hutton Mount outwards, kitchens range from town-centre restaurants and takeaways to pubs, hotels, schools and care homes. Each extract is cleaned to the same TR19® standard, canopy to discharge.
CM13 is within the area we cover, which takes in London and the South East. Every job is surveyed first and quoted at a fixed price.
Brentwood: A kitchen near Brentwood station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. For schools such as Becket Keys Church of England School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The times the site is available
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The size of the system
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- A few general shots of the system

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, 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.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
Kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, so you can start cooking as normal.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
Different parts, different methods
Grease filters
A filter that’s missing or bent lets grease straight past. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that do not.
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
FAQs for CM13
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What do I get after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after photos, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
How long will the clean take?
It takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
