Our kitchen extract cleaning service in DA10
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That layer will burn, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. The work covers discharge points, vertical risers and canopies and hoods, and common reasons people get in touch are rancid smells from grease in the duct and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer.
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system.
- We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before we start.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
How we quote
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 send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Kitchen extract cleaning around DA10
In DA10, a busy kitchen in a place such as Swanscombe, Ebbsfleet Valley and Greenhithe and a quiet village kitchen need very different cleaning intervals. The right interval comes from hours of use and grease readings.
Across London and the South East, we work evenings, overnight and weekends, so sites across DA10 don’t have to lose a day.
Ebbsfleet Valley: Commuter trade near Ebbsfleet International station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Darent Valley Hospital about 1.9 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. For a kitchen in DA10, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Stale cooking odours from the system
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Leave it or put it right?
Any food business in DA10 can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters will not go unnoticed. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- What state the system is in
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The postcode and the type of business
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
For kitchen extract cleaning in DA10, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
Honest limits
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
DA10: your questions answered
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Will I get a certificate 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.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in DA10?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
When the kitchen is closed, at whatever time suits you. The equipment is switched off and left to cool, and we hand the kitchen back ready for the next service.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
