Kitchen extract cleaning in N16: 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 N16, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. The work covers plenums and filters, canopies and hoods and extract fans, and people most often call us about years of baked-on grease in the ducts and stale cooking odours from the system.

We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.

  1. We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
  2. Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
  3. The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
  4. We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
  5. We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.

What affects the price in N16

Kitchen extract cleaning across N16: local notes

Our kitchen extract cleaning work across N16 takes in places such as Highbury, West Hackney and Mildmay and the villages in between. We cover every place we list for N16, 17 in all, with cleans booked around trading hours.

Much of our work across London and the South East happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so sites across N16 do not have to lose a day.

West Hackney: Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to West Hackney is German Hospital, about 0.9 miles south. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Michael and All Angels or elsewhere in West Hackney, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What affects the quote in N16

There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:

  • Any permits to work or inductions
  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
  • Whether several sites go on one quote
  • The size of the system

No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

What to send for a quote

When you call or email, these details help:

  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
  • The postcode and the type of business
  • Wide pictures of the system and the area around it

What staff can safely do

When your team notices a problem 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 give you a fixed quote.

In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

When it’s something else

We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:

  • Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
  • A fan motor that has burnt out
  • Damaged duct sections that need replacing

Aftercare tips

Once we have finished, these simple steps help:

  • Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
  • Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
  • Book the next clean before the date on the report
  • Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works

If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. 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.

Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.

Why deal with it now?

Grease that’s left only gets thicker. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and anywhere reaching 500 microns or more needs a spot clean right away. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in N16

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.

What about areas you can’t get to?

They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.

How long does a kitchen extract clean take?

Short systems are done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. We’ll tell you how long when we quote.

Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?

Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. Without proof, a claim can be refused or reduced, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.

How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?

Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
