Kitchen extract cleaning in RM16: how it works
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That film is fuel, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. The work covers discharge points, canopies and hoods and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and a system with no record of a TR19 clean.
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 we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report 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.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
What affects the price in RM16
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Kitchen extracts across RM16
In RM16, we work in places such as Grays, Chadwell St Mary and South Stifford and well beyond. We cover every place we list for RM16, 11 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 in RM16 can keep trading. In the coastal parts of RM16, salt air and damp are hard on ductwork, fans and dampers, and corrosion is one of the things that can stop a fire damper closing.
Chadwell St Mary: If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Orsett Hospital about 1.6 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Herringham Primary Academy or anywhere near Chadwell St Mary, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Keep grease collection points emptied
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, so you can start cooking as normal.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A broken extract fan that won’t run
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
What the work involves, part by part
Ductwork and risers
Long flat runs of duct are where grease collects. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that cannot be reached.
Canopy and plenum
Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The number of sites or systems
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Questions from RM16
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, working evenings, overnight or at weekends to suit you. We need the equipment switched off and cooled first.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after photos, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
