Kitchen extract cleaning across E22: what to expect
The ducts are where most of the grease hides. We reach horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels, 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 canopies and hoods, horizontal duct runs and extract fans, and the jobs we see most are ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and grease dripping from the canopy or filters.
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
What you will pay
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What you get with us
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Every job surveyed first

Landmarks near Poplar
Around Poplar, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near St Peter's Church, Langdon Park Secondary School and Our Lady and St Joseph Catholic Primary School. You’ll also find Tower Hamlets College (within half a mile north), Bartlett Park (0.6 miles north) and The Ledger Building pub (within half a mile west). There’s a railway station in Poplar itself: Canary Wharf station. A little further out are Museum of the Book (0.8 miles north-west) and Poplar Hospital (0.6 miles north-east). Open spaces near Poplar include Lavender Pond and St. James's Park Lake.
Kitchen extract cleaning around E22
Across E22, from Poplar, London Docklands and Canary Wharf 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.
London and the South East cover everything from city basements to rural kitchens. The same TR19® standard applies to all of them, in E22 and beyond.
Poplar: Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Poplar is Poplar Hospital, about 0.6 miles north-east. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Peter's Church or elsewhere in Poplar, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service isn’t an option for most restaurants and pubs. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and put back so they seat correctly. We will tell you if any need replacing.
Leave it or put it right?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A certificate in the file answers that question.
What your quote should include
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
Why it fails
A lot of duct grease gets there because the filters let it through. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and from there it travels on to the fan.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in E22
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we’ll usually reply within one working day.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
How long does a kitchen extract clean take?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. As a guide, it takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
