Kitchen extract cleaning across RM9: what to expect
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and grease settles in every one of them. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. The work covers vertical risers, plenums and filters and canopies and hoods, and the jobs we see most are an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and grease drips onto cooking equipment.
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 we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- 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.

Getting a quote

Local landmarks in Becontree
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around Robert Clack School, Parsloes Park and St Joseph's Catholic Primary School and the streets around them. Nearby too are St George's (less than half a mile south-east) and Eastbrook pub (0.9 miles east). Becontree’s nearest station is Chadwell Heath station, about 1.5 miles north-west. Other landmarks nearby include Redbridge Museum (3 miles west) and The Brewery (2.4 miles north-east). Not far away are Dagenham Village Churchyard.
Where we work in RM9
In RM9, a busy kitchen in a place such as Barking, Dagenham and Becontree and a quiet village kitchen need very different cleaning intervals. Grease readings and BESA’s minimum intervals set the schedule for each.
From central London kitchens to coastal hotels and country pubs, London and the South East have every kind of site. Wherever the site is in RM9, the work is done to the same TR19® standard.
Becontree: Eastbury Manor House, about 2.1 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses near Becontree; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Joseph's Catholic Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Why act early?
There’s no law that names TR19, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 still applies. It puts a duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it.
What your quote should include
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the photos. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Grease dripping from the canopy, a burning smell or a fan that sounds rough are all signs of build-up, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
Different parts, different methods
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that cannot be reached.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
In a care home or hospital, the kitchen may cook every day of the year. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight with as little disruption as possible.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- What state the system is in
- How big the system is
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
When it’s something else
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that is for a ductwork contractor)
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A grease trap that needs emptying
RM9 questions
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Where there aren’t enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
What information do you need?
Some pictures and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in RM9?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we’ll typically reply within one working day.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
