How kitchen extract cleaning works in DA16
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 horizontal duct runs, canopies and hoods and discharge points, and common reasons people get in touch are an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19.
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- 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 DA16
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Kitchen extract cleaning around DA16
From Welling, Bexleyheath and Blackfen to its smaller places, DA16 has kitchens of every size. Every one gets the same full TR19® clean, from the canopy to the discharge.
Across London and the South East, we work evenings, overnight and weekends, so sites in DA16 can keep trading.
Welling: A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St John's Church or elsewhere in Welling, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. School kitchens, at schools like Danson Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The scale of the work
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- A few general shots of the system
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving the clean until the next refit does not make the grease go away. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, which is slower to clean. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable.
What your quote should include
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- What hours they’ll be on site
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
You get a photo report after every clean. Before and after pictures show each part of the system, and lists what was cleaned, any areas we couldn’t reach and the date the next clean is due.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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, alongside our reports.
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 can diagnose it and quote.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
DA16: your questions answered
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
The clean is done when the kitchen isn’t cooking, working evenings, overnight or at weekends to suit you. Equipment needs to be off and cool before we start.
