Kitchen extract cleaning in RM12: how it works
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers extract fans, discharge points and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are grease smells coming from the extract and fat running down the canopy edge.
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
How we quote
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Local landmarks in Hornchurch
Around Hornchurch, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near J.J. Moon's pub, Langtons Infant School and Abbs Cross Academy and Arts College, among other places. Nearby too are Saint George's Church (within half a mile south) and St. Andrew's Park (0.7 miles north-east). The nearest railway station is Emerson Park station, about 0.7 miles north. Nearby you will also find Upminster Tithe Barn Museum of Nostalgia (1.9 miles east) and The Brewery (1.8 miles north-west). Open spaces near Hornchurch include Hornchurch Cutting.
Kitchen extracts across RM12
Across RM12, from Hornchurch, Elm Park and South Hornchurch 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.
Much of our work across London and the South East happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so sites across RM12 do not have to lose a day.
Hornchurch: If you cook for passing trade around Emerson Park station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Saint George's Church, or anywhere in Hornchurch, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
What we are most often called out for:
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date is not missed.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- What state the system is in
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- A few general shots of the system
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any previous report or certificate
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
RM12: your questions answered
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
Everything from canopy to discharge: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we can’t reach is recorded on the report.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after photos, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
