Our kitchen extract cleaning service in E20
The part of the system nobody sees is often the dirtiest. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, removing thick grease by hand, then using degreasers, hot water or steam to suit the deposit. Any section we cannot reach is recorded on the report and extra access panels can be added. We’re often asked to deal with an extract that no longer clears the smoke and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, across vertical risers, canopies and hoods and extract fans.
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
What you will pay
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What you get with us
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Photo reports with every job
- Every job surveyed first
- We are fully insured
Getting a quote
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, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Around Temple Mills
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to St Eleutherius, Mossbourne Riverside Academy and Chobham Academy, among other places. Also close by are Eton Manor Boys' Club (within half a mile north), The Cow pub (0.6 miles south-east) and Mabley Green (0.8 miles west). Temple Mills has its own railway station: Stratford International station. A little further out are V&A East (0.6 miles south) and Westfield Stratford City (within half a mile south-east). Not far away are Tower Hill and Hollow Pond.
Where we work in E20
In E20, we work in places such as Stratford, Maryland and Donnybrook Quarter and well beyond. We cover every place we list for E20, 7 in all, with cleans booked around trading hours.
From central London kitchens to coastal hotels and country pubs, London and the South East have every kind of site. Wherever the site is in E20, the work is done to the same TR19® standard.
Temple Mills: If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Queen Mary's Hospital for the East End about 1 mile south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Eleutherius or anywhere around Temple Mills, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What happens if it’s left?
An overdue clean in E20 is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. The job takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you don’t lose a service. Waiting only adds grease and risk.
What your quote should include
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether a survey comes first
- How VAT is shown on the quote
Managing agents and facilities teams in E20
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. We clean after close or before opening.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
Why it fails
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in E20
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, which grease thickness testing will show.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How long will the clean take?
It takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. We will confirm the time when we quote.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
