Our kitchen extract cleaning service in RM20
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with photos of the canopy and filters, and you’ll have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in RM20, normally within one working day. We’re often asked to deal with grease dripping from the canopy or filters and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, across discharge points, plenums and filters and vertical risers.
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.

Kitchen extracts across RM20
From Grays, South Stifford and Purfleet-on-Thames to its smaller places, RM20 has kitchens of every size. Each extract is cleaned to the same TR19® standard, canopy to discharge.
Across London and the South East, we work evenings, overnight and weekends, so sites in RM20 can keep trading.
West Thurrock: Commuter trade near Chafford Hundred station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Clement's Church or elsewhere in West Thurrock, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Part by part
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
Extract fan and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to cut noise, and they hold grease. Where they can be cleaned, they are, and the report notes anything that cannot.
Common problems we fix in RM20
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. For a kitchen in RM20, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Fat running down the canopy edge
Leave it or put it right?
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky and the fan strains to keep up. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next.
Questions to ask before booking
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
What affects the quote in RM20
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The size of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The postcode and the type of business
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Common questions in RM20
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where needed.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
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.
Is RM20 in your area?
Yes. We cover RM20 and across Thurrock, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
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 pictures.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
When do you clean the extract?
When the kitchen is closed, at whatever time suits you. The equipment is switched off and left to cool, and we hand the kitchen back ready for the next service.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
