Kitchen extract cleaning in N1P

About kitchen extract cleaning in N1P

We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers plenums and filters, extract fans and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract.

We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.

  1. First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
  2. We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
  3. We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
  4. Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
  5. The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.

Pricing in N1P

What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Kitchen extracts across N1P

Across N1P, from Hoxton, Angel and Pentonville outwards, kitchens range from town-centre restaurants and takeaways to pubs, hotels, schools and care homes. Every one gets the same full TR19® clean, from the canopy to the discharge.

Across England, including N1P, the responsible person has a legal duty to assess and reduce fire risk, and a TR19® certificate and photo report give you a record of the work.

Hoxton: Term dates shape school work: for a school like Shoreditch Park Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Anne with St Columba or elsewhere in Hoxton, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

When something else is needed

A few issues sit outside what this work can do:

  • A duct that is holed or coming apart
  • Faulty fire dampers in the duct
  • A grease trap that needs emptying

Aftercare tips

Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:

  • Book the next clean before the date on the report
  • Keep the baffle filters clean
  • Give the canopy a daily wipe
  • Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell

Every clean ends with a photo report. It shows the system before and after, part by part, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.

Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

When your team notices a problem 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’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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.

Multi-site and managed buildings

If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.

Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in N1P and across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in N1P

A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:

  • One-off work versus a regular cycle
  • The condition of the system
  • How many systems or sites are involved
  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids

What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.

Asking for a quote

To speed up the quote, please include:

  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
  • Problems your staff have spotted
  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet

To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Questions from N1P

Will the clean disrupt our service?

Cleans are timed to avoid service. Most kitchens book us overnight or at weekends, so you don’t lose a service.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.

What should I send you?

Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.

What if parts of the system can’t be reached?

They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.

How much notice should we give?

It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.

Do you work with multi-site operators?

Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.

Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?

Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
