Kitchen extract cleaning across DA5: what to expect
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Send a few photos of the canopy and filters when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and you’ll have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in DA5, normally within one working day. The work covers vertical risers, plenums and filters and canopies and hoods, and people most often call us about fat running down the canopy edge and grease smells coming from the extract.
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 first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself 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.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.

Kitchen extracts across DA5
In DA5, a busy kitchen in a place such as Dartford, Sidcup and Bexley and a quiet village kitchen need very different cleaning intervals. Grease readings and BESA’s minimum intervals set the schedule for each.
From central London kitchens to coastal hotels and country pubs, London and the South East have every kind of site. The same TR19® standard applies to all of them, in DA5 and beyond.
Bexley: For kitchens close to Bexley station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. School kitchens, at schools like Old Bexley Church of England School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, so you can start cooking as normal.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The scale of the work
- How many systems or sites are involved
- A single visit or a regular plan
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Leave it or put it right?
An overdue clean in DA5 is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. The job takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you don’t lose a service. Every extra month adds grease.
What your quote should include
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- What insurance they carry
Managing agents and facilities teams in DA5
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
DA5: your questions answered
What should I send you?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
What does TR19 mean?
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.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
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.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
