Kitchen extract cleaning across RM14: what to expect

Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Send a few photos of the canopy and filters when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll come back with a fixed price for the work in RM14, typically within one working day. The work covers canopies and hoods, plenums and filters and vertical risers, and common reasons people get in touch are ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and grease drips onto cooking equipment.

We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.

  1. Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
  2. Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
  3. We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
  4. The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
  5. Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.

Near you in Upminster

Typical jobs here are in premises near Upminster Junior School, St. Andrew's Park and Church of St Laurence. Also close by are The Crumpled Horn pub (less than half a mile south-west) and Eastbrook School (within half a mile south-east). Upminster has its own railway station: Upminster station. A little further out are Upminster Tithe Barn Museum of Nostalgia (0.5 miles north) and The Mercury Mall (3.2 miles north-west). For a walk, there’s Cranham Marsh.

Where we work in RM14

Our kitchen extract cleaning work across RM14 takes in places such as Hornchurch, Upminster and Harold Park and the villages in between. We cover every place we list for RM14, 9 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 RM14 don’t have to lose a day.

Upminster: If you run a café or takeaway near Upminster station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Laurence or elsewhere in Upminster, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Leave it or put it right?

Leaving the clean until the next refit does not make the grease go away. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, and that takes more work to shift. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter.

What your quote should include

  • Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
  • How VAT is shown on the quote
  • Whether they recommend a next date
  • Proof of accreditation you can verify

Part by part

Extract fan and discharge

At the end of the system is the discharge, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.

Schools, hospitals and care homes

Even a kitchen that cooks only a few hours a day needs cleaning at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.

What affects the quote in RM14

Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
  • The number of sites or systems
  • Site rules, permits and inductions

Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Asking for a quote

We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:

  • Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
  • The site address and the type of premises
  • Your last certificate, test record or report
  • Any access panels or hatches you can see

Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

Managing agents and facilities teams in RM14

We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in RM14

Do you work in RM14?

Yes. We work in RM14 and across Greater London, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?

Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.

What’s TR19?

TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.

What do you do to protect the area?

We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.

What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?

Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
