Kitchen extract cleaning across DA15: what to expect
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Send a few photos of the canopy and filters when you call 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will come back with a fixed price for the work in DA15, normally within one working day. The work covers plenums and filters, extract fans and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are grease smells coming from the extract and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs.
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, 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.
What affects the price in DA15
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Where we work in DA15
Kitchens across DA15 cook for very different hours, from all-day town-centre sites to part-time hall and school kitchens. The right interval comes from hours of use and grease readings.
We work across London and the South East, and DA15 is part of that area. Every job is surveyed first and quoted at a fixed price, wherever it is in DA15.
Blackfen: A hospital like Eltham Community Hospital, about 1.7 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Commuter trade near Falconwood station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How easy every part is to reach
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A fan motor that has burnt out
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Managing agents and facilities teams in DA15
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Why act early?
If your kitchen in DA15 is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. The job takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time, and we fit around your opening hours. Every extra month adds grease.

Common questions in DA15
Do you cover DA15?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, DA15 included.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Short systems are done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. Your quote says how long to expect.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where necessary.
What accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we are fully insured.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. We’ll recommend a date after measuring the grease.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
When the kitchen is closed, at whatever time suits you. We need the equipment cool, and we leave the kitchen ready to cook.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No law names TR19 directly, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
