Kitchen extract cleaning in E14: how it works
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. We’re often asked to deal with heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and an extract that no longer clears the smoke, across vertical risers, canopies and hoods and plenums and filters.
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.
- We survey the system, from your photos 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.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.

What’s near Bow Common
Around Bow Common, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Stebon Primary School, St Paul's Way Trust School and Bartlett Park and the streets around them.

Bow Common’s nearest station is Limehouse station, roughly 0.8 miles south-west.

Where we work in E14
In E14, we work in places such as London, Mile End and Bow Common and well beyond. Every place on our E14 list (21 in all) is covered, with cleans booked around trading hours.
Across London and the South East, we work evenings, overnight and weekends, so sites in E14 can keep trading.
Bow Common: School kitchens, at schools like St Paul's Way Trust School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Historic houses near Bow Common, such as Sutton House about 2.4 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
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 pictures.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning
In E14, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
Part by part
Extract fan and discharge
The discharge is where air leaves the building, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight, so residents and patients aren’t disturbed.
Why deal with it now?
TR19® is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How easy every part is to reach
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The postcode and the type of business

E14: your questions answered
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. We need the equipment cool, and we leave the kitchen ready to cook.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after photos, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
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. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
