How kitchen extract cleaning works in RM13
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. 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 discharge points, canopies and hoods and plenums and filters, and common reasons people get in touch are fat running down the canopy edge and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction.
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows.
- 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.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
How we quote
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Near you in Rainham
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Rainham Village Primary School, Harris Academy Rainham and The Chafford School. Other local landmarks include Wildspace Conservation Park (1 mile south), Church of St Helen and St Giles (under half a mile west) and The Phoenix pub (under half a mile west). There’s a railway station in Rainham itself: Rainham (Essex) station. Nearby you’ll also find St George's Hospital (2.3 miles north-east) and Erith Museum (2.6 miles south). Not far away are Ingrebourne Marshes.
Where we work in RM13
Across RM13, from Dagenham, Elm Park and Rainham 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.
We work across London and the South East, and RM13 is part of that area. Every job is surveyed first and quoted at a fixed price, wherever it is in RM13.
Rainham: If you cook for passing trade around Rainham (Essex) station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Helen and St Giles, or anywhere in Rainham, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Managing agents and facilities teams in RM13
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How big the system is
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- A few general shots of the system
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
For kitchen extract cleaning in RM13, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, and equipment can be switched back on once we have gone.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. We clean after close or before opening.
RM13: your questions answered
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in RM13?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before we start.
How long will the clean take?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. As a guide, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No law names TR19 directly, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
