Our kitchen extract cleaning service in SE12
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and each part collects grease. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The work covers vertical risers, discharge points and plenums and filters, and common reasons people get in touch are cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction.
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
- 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.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
What you will pay
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.

Kitchen extract cleaning around SE12
From Eltham, Hither Green and Well Hall to its smaller places, SE12 has kitchens of every size. Each extract is cleaned to the same TR19® standard, canopy to discharge.
We work across London and the South East, and SE12 is part of that area. Each job starts with a survey and a fixed quote, wherever it is in SE12.
Lee: Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as University Hospital Lewisham (about 1.1 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. School kitchens, at schools like Brindishe Lee School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When something else is needed
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It does not solve:
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
Part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Losing a service isn’t an option for most restaurants and pubs. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- What state the system is in
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- A single visit or a regular plan
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Why deal with it now?
If your kitchen in SE12 is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. 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 do not lose a service. Waiting only adds grease and risk.

Questions from SE12
What do I get after the clean?
You receive 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 pictures, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before work begins.
How long will the clean take?
It takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
