Our kitchen extract cleaning service in DA6
Across DA6, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. We’re often asked to deal with a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction, on plenums and filters, discharge points and horizontal duct runs.
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- 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.
What you will pay
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Landmarks near Upton
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Bexleyheath Academy, Trinity Baptist Church and Upland Primary School, among other places. You’ll also find St Catherine's Catholic School (1 mile east), The Golden Lion pub (less than half a mile south) and Danson Park (0.8 miles west). Upton has its own railway station: Bexleyheath station. A little further out are Bexley Hospital (under half a mile south-west) and Broadway Shopping Centre (0.5 miles south-east). Not far away are Summer Hill and Wansunt Pit.
Where we work in DA6
Across DA6, from Welling, Bexley and Bexleyheath outwards, kitchens range from town-centre restaurants and takeaways to pubs, hotels, schools and care homes. Every one gets the same full TR19® clean, from the canopy to the discharge.
DA6 is within the area we cover, which takes in London and the South East. Every job is surveyed first and quoted at a fixed price, wherever it is in DA6.
Upton: A hospital like Bexley Hospital, about less than half a mile south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Trinity Baptist Church or elsewhere in Upton, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in DA6 and across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Parking and loading at the site
- The scale of the work
- The times the site is available
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
What happens if it’s left?
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
FAQs for DA6
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
What accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
