Kitchen extract cleaning in RM6: how it works
Any kitchen we clean in RM6 gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. The work covers plenums and filters, extract fans and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are a system with no record of a TR19 clean and years of baked-on grease in the ducts.
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give 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.
How we quote
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Kitchen extract cleaning across RM6: local notes
In RM6, we work in places such as Goodmayes, Little Heath and Chadwell Heath and well beyond. We cover every place we list for RM6, 5 in all, and kitchens are cleaned around their opening hours, overnight and at weekends included.
RM6 is within the area we cover, which takes in London and the South East. Each job starts with a survey and a fixed quote.
Little Heath: If you run a café or takeaway near Chadwell Heath station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; King George Hospital is the nearest hospital to Little Heath, about 0.5 miles west.
Why act early?
TR19® is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to.

Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
Grease filters
Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct and we offer a filter exchange service for that. Clean filters slow the build-up further down the system.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Why it fails
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’ll tell you before we start. It does not solve:
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
RM6: your questions answered
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
Do we have to close the kitchen for the clean?
We work around your hours. Most kitchens book us overnight or at weekends and the kitchen is ready to cook when we leave.
