Kitchen extract cleaning in E9: how it works
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. For a kitchen in E9, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. The work covers plenums and filters, discharge points and extract fans, and the jobs we see most are an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction.
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
- 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.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.

Kitchen extract cleaning across E9: local notes
Across E9, from Homerton, Hackney and Cambridge Heath 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.
We work across London and the South East, and E9 is part of that area. Every job is surveyed first and quoted at a fixed price.
Hackney: Where a hall near Church of St Luke, or anywhere in Hackney, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run a café or takeaway near Homerton station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- An undersized canopy or fan
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
Any section without access is marked on the report. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
What happens if it’s left?
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.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
Questions from E9
What should I send you?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
Under BESA guidance, the minimum depends on how long you cook each day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Measured grease levels set the real interval.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where necessary.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
