About kitchen extract cleaning in E98
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with photos of the canopy and filters, and we’ll come back with a fixed price for the work in E98, usually within one working day. The work covers plenums and filters, discharge points and canopies and hoods, and common reasons people get in touch are an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer.
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
- We survey the system first, from your photos and details or on a site visit.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- 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.
What you’ll 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 work begins.

Kitchen extract cleaning around E98
Across E98, from East End of London 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 E98 and beyond.
East End of London: If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like The Royal London Hospital about under half a mile north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Mary and St Michael Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
Ductwork and risers
Vertical risers carry the air up through the building, and grease often collects at the bottom of them. Access panels along the riser let us clean it in sections.
Managing agents and facilities teams in E98
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The scale of the work
- The times the site is available
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Why it fails
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
Questions from E98
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
The clean is done when the kitchen isn’t cooking, working evenings, overnight or at weekends to suit you. Equipment needs to be off and cool before work begins.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, our work sits within an independently audited scheme. We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 too, and we are fully insured.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
The whole system: the canopy, the plenum behind the filters, the filters, horizontal ducts, vertical risers, the fan and the discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we cannot reach is recorded on the report.
Do you work in E98?
