About kitchen extract cleaning in DA9
Any kitchen we clean in DA9 gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. The work covers canopies and hoods, vertical risers and plenums and filters, and the jobs we see most are an extract that no longer clears the smoke and years of baked-on grease in the ducts.
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows.
- You send pictures 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.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.

Kitchen extract cleaning across DA9: local notes
In DA9, we work in places such as Swanscombe, Greenhithe and Stone and well beyond. We cover every place we list for DA9, 3 in all, and kitchens are cleaned around their opening hours, overnight and at weekends included.
London and the South East cover everything from city basements to rural kitchens. The same TR19® standard applies to all of them, in DA9 and beyond.
Swanscombe: If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Swanscombe, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. A kitchen near Greenhithe for Bluewater station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
Leave it or put it right?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, and that takes more work to shift. Staying on a regular cycle keeps each clean manageable.

Part by part
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that can’t be reached.
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, each section is cleaned and photographed before and after.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The times the site is available
- How easy every part is to reach
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The number of sites or systems
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, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
If you need kitchen extract cleaning in DA9, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Wash or exchange the filters often
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
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.
Why it fails
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so those sections were never reached. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
