Kitchen extract cleaning in SE10: how it works

Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. The sign-off is a TR19 certificate with a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers extract fans, horizontal duct runs and discharge points, and the jobs we see most are cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and missing paperwork after a change of operator.

Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.

  1. You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
  2. Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
  3. On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
  4. Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
  5. We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.

Around Greenwich

Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to St Mary's Church, Island Gardens and Meridian Primary School, among other places. Nearby too are Royal School of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering (within half a mile north-west), The Plume of Feathers pub (within half a mile north), John Roan School (under half a mile east) and St. Paul's (1.1 miles west). There’s a railway station in Greenwich itself: Maze Hill station. Other landmarks nearby include Greenwich Castle (within half a mile south-west) and Greenwich District Hospital (0.5 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Tower Hill and Creekside Discovery Centre.

Where we work in SE10

In SE10, we work in places such as Greenwich, St Johns and Deptford and well beyond. Every place on our SE10 list (17 in all) is covered, and kitchens are cleaned around their opening hours, overnight and at weekends included.

Across England, including SE10, the responsible person has a legal duty to assess and reduce fire risk, and a TR19® certificate and photo report give you a record of the work.

Greenwich: If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Greenwich District Hospital about 0.5 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Mary's Church or elsewhere in Greenwich, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Leave it or put it right?

An overdue clean in SE10 is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. The job takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you don’t lose a service. Every extra month adds grease.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in SE10

The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:

  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
  • Whether several sites go on one quote
  • The scale of the work
  • Site rules, permits and inductions

When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

Helping us quote

When you call or email, it’s useful to have:

  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • Any access panels or hatches you can see
  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

For kitchen extract cleaning in SE10, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.

Honest limits

We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:

  • Damaged duct sections that need replacing
  • Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
  • A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.

What your team can do, and what needs us

In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

Questions from SE10

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 necessary.

What do you need from me for a quote?

The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.

Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?

Extract grease is fuel for a kitchen fire, which is why many insurers require TR19 cleaning. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.

What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?

Under BESA guidance, the minimum depends on how long you cook each day: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.

How long will the clean take?

Allow a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.

How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in SE10?

We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before work begins.
