Our kitchen extract cleaning service in E16
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in E16, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. Typical jobs include heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, across plenums and filters, canopies and hoods and vertical risers.
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.

Around Canning Town
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Keir Hardie Park, The Tidal Basin Tavern and Rosetta Primary School and the streets around them. Also close by are St Cedd's Church (under half a mile north), Royal Docks Academy (0.5 miles south-east) and The Royal Docks Community School (0.5 miles south-east). There’s a railway station in Canning Town itself: Custom House station. A little further out are Greenwich Castle (2.8 miles south-west) and West Ham United Football Club Museum (1.4 miles north-east). The countryside around Canning Town includes Gilbert's Pit and Hollow Pond.
Kitchen extracts across E16
In E16, a busy kitchen in a place such as Plaistow, Plumstead and Canning Town and a quiet village kitchen need very different cleaning intervals. Grease readings and BESA’s minimum intervals set the schedule for each.
Much of our work across London and the South East happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so sites in E16 can keep trading.
Canning Town: If you run a café or takeaway near Custom House station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. School kitchens, at schools like Rosetta Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What affects the quote in E16
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- What state the system is in
- How big the system is
- The number of sites or systems
- Site rules, permits and inductions
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The site address and the type of premises
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
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.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
Leave it or put it right?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation.
Comparing quotes
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Common problems we fix in E16
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in E16
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
We clean every part the grease travels through. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where necessary.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do you work in E16?
Yes. We cover E16 and the rest of Greater London, within our South East and London area. To book, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
