Kitchen extract cleaning in IG3: how it works

Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That film is fuel, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. The work covers canopies and hoods, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs, 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.

A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.

  1. We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
  2. Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
  3. On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
  4. Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
  5. Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.

Kitchen extract cleaning across IG3: local notes

From Ilford, Loxford and Newbury Park to its smaller places, IG3 has kitchens of every size. 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 IG3 and beyond.

Seven Kings: If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Goodmayes Hospital about 0.8 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. A kitchen near Seven Kings station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

Different parts, different methods

Schools, hospitals and care homes

Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight with as little disruption as possible.

Canopy and plenum

Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.

Leave it or put it right?

Any food business in IG3 can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters won’t go unnoticed. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What records you will receive afterwards
  • What hours they’ll be on site
  • Whether the quote shows VAT
  • Whether the price is fixed

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in IG3

The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
  • Travel, parking and unloading
  • The size of the system

Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

What to send for a quote

We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:

  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • Any access panels or hatches you can see
  • Any previous report or certificate

To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.

Managing agents and facilities teams in IG3

If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.

Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.

IG3 questions

Does the law say I must clean to TR19?

TR19 isn’t written into law, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.

How much notice do you need?

It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.

What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?

A TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after pictures, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.

Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?

Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. The equipment is switched off and left to cool, and we hand the kitchen back ready for the next service.

Can you set up regular visits?

Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.

How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?

There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before any work starts.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
