About kitchen extract cleaning in E1W
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers canopies and hoods, discharge points and extract fans, and people most often call us about a system with no record of a TR19 clean and grease dripping from the canopy or filters.
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and we clear up before we go.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.

Kitchen extract cleaning across E1W: local notes
Our kitchen extract cleaning work across E1W takes in places such as Whitechapel, Spitalfields and Tower Hill and the villages in between. We cover every place we list for E1W, 8 in all, and kitchens are cleaned around their opening hours, overnight and at weekends included.
E1W is within the area we cover, which takes in London and the South East. Each job starts with a survey and a fixed quote.
Whitechapel: If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like The Royal London Hospital about 0.5 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you run a café or takeaway near Whitechapel station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
You leave with a date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date is not missed.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
Common problems we fix in E1W
In E1W, as anywhere, grease gathers where the air slows down: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
What affects the quote in E1W
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How big the system is
- Parking and loading at the site
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Common questions in E1W
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.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Will the clean disrupt our service?
We work around your hours. Overnight, weekend and between-service cleans are all possible and the kitchen is ready to cook when we leave.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
Everything from canopy to discharge: the canopy, the plenum behind the filters, the filters, horizontal ducts, vertical risers, the fan and the discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Any part without access is noted.
