About kitchen extract cleaning in E2
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. Access panels let us into the duct runs and risers, scraping heavy deposits by hand before degreasing. Anything out of reach is noted in the report, and new panels can be fitted. The work covers plenums and filters, canopies and hoods and discharge points, and people most often call us about a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs.
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
What you will pay

Kitchen extract cleaning around E2
Across E2, from Shoreditch, Whitechapel and Bethnal Green outwards, kitchens range from town-centre restaurants and takeaways to pubs, hotels, schools and care homes. Each extract is cleaned to the same TR19® standard, canopy to discharge.
Across London and the South East, we work evenings, overnight and weekends, so sites in E2 can keep trading.
Bethnal Green: School kitchens, at schools like Lawdale Junior School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Peter's or elsewhere in Bethnal Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Why deal with it now?
A clogged extract doesn’t only raise the fire risk. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky, while the fan works harder to move less air. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. That’s why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning will not do:
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
Questions from E2
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. Most jobs take one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in E2?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll usually reply within one working day.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we will survey first.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
You receive a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are 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.
