Our kitchen extract cleaning service in CR9
A closed kitchen isn’t earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. We’re often asked to deal with an extract that no longer clears the smoke and a system with no record of a TR19 clean, on plenums and filters, canopies and hoods and horizontal duct runs.
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.

Kitchen extracts across CR9
Our kitchen extract cleaning work across CR9 takes in places such as Croydon, Woodside and Ashburton and the villages in between. We cover every place we list for CR9, 12 in all, and kitchens are cleaned around their opening hours, overnight and at weekends included.
We work across London and the South East, and CR9 is part of that area. Every job is surveyed first and quoted at a fixed price.
Croydon: If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Andrew's or elsewhere in Croydon, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Heathfield Academy or anywhere near Croydon, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Why it fails
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Fat running down the canopy edge
Why deal with it now?
Leaving the clean until the next refit does not make the grease go away. Over time, soft grease bakes into a harder, thicker crust, and that takes more work to shift. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable.
What your quote should include
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether they recommend a next date
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The size of the system
- The condition of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Questions from CR9
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
We clean to BESA TR19® Grease as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, with certificates issued through the BESCA portal. We’ve been trading since 2009.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. We need the equipment cool, and we leave the kitchen ready to cook.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Our certificate and photo report give you that evidence.
What do I get after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after pictures, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
