Kitchen extract cleaning across SE17: what to expect
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. The work covers canopies and hoods, vertical risers and extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are an extract that no longer clears the smoke and rancid smells from grease in the duct.
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. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- 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.

Kitchen extracts across SE17
Our kitchen extract cleaning work across SE17 takes in places such as Elephant and Castle, St George's Fields and Newington Butts and the villages in between. We cover every place we list for SE17, 4 in all, and kitchens are cleaned around their opening hours, overnight and at weekends included.
Across London and the South East, we work evenings, overnight and weekends, so sites in SE17 can keep trading.
Elephant and Castle: School kitchens, at schools like London College of Communication for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Church and community hall kitchens, near Metropolitan Tabernacle or anywhere around Elephant and Castle, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition we find in the survey
- The number of sites or systems
- How easy every part is to reach
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any previous report or certificate
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is

Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. Cleans are planned between meals or overnight, so residents and patients aren’t disturbed.
Why deal with it now?
If there’s a fire and the extract hasn’t been cleaned, the paperwork becomes the problem. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation.
What your quote should include
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What hours they’ll be on site
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Common questions in SE17
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
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. We fix the price before work begins.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What do I get after the clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. We will recommend a date after measuring the grease.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
We’re members of Vent Hygiene Elite, the scheme run by BESCA, and we clean to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
