Our kitchen extract cleaning service in SE14

Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That layer will burn, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. Typical jobs include an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and a system with no record of a TR19 clean, on discharge points, extract fans and vertical risers.

At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.

  1. We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
  2. Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before work begins.
  3. On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
  4. Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
  5. Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.

Landmarks near New Cross

Around New Cross, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near St James's Church, Fordham Park and St. Paul's. Nearby too are Addey and Stanhope School (under half a mile north-east), Laban Centre (0.9 miles north-east), Myatt Garden Primary School (less than half a mile south-east) and Wickham Arms (under half a mile south). There’s a railway station in New Cross itself: New Cross station. Nearby you will also find Fan Museum (1.2 miles north-east) and Greenwich Castle (1.5 miles east). For a walk, there’s St. James's Park Lake and Tower Hill.

Where we work in SE14

From New Cross, Peckham and Deptford to its smaller places, SE14 has kitchens of every size. Each extract is cleaned to the same TR19® standard, canopy to discharge.

London and the South East cover everything from city basements to rural kitchens. The same TR19® standard applies to all of them, in SE14 and beyond.

New Cross: A kitchen near New Cross station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Church and community hall kitchens, near St James's Church or anywhere around New Cross, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Different parts, different methods

Restaurant and pub kitchens

Busy restaurant and pub kitchens often cook for long hours, frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. We clean after close or before opening.

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 can’t be reached.

Managing agents and facilities teams in SE14

From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.

Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.

When it’s something else

Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’ll tell you before we start. It does not solve:

  • Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
  • A fan motor that has burnt out
  • A grease trap that needs emptying

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning

It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so those sections were never reached. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.

Keep an eye out for these warning signs:

  • A kitchen taken over without any extract records
  • Poor airflow at the canopy
  • Grease smells coming from the extract
  • Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in SE14

Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:

  • One-off work versus a regular cycle
  • The times the site is available
  • Parking and loading at the site
  • Site requirements such as sign-in and permits

Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

What to send for a quote

A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:

  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • Your last certificate, test record or report
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to

The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in SE14

Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?

We clean to BESA TR19® Grease as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, with certificates issued through the BESCA portal. We have been trading since 2009.

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.

Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?

TR19® itself is not law. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.

What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?

There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before we start.

What happens to the waste?

It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.

Can you set up regular visits?

Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.

Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?

Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
