About kitchen extract cleaning in SE19
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. The work covers plenums and filters, extract fans and vertical risers, and common reasons people get in touch are years of baked-on grease in the ducts and grease smells coming from the extract.
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
What you’ll pay

Where we work in SE19
Kitchens across SE19 cook for very different hours, from all-day town-centre sites to part-time hall and school kitchens. Grease readings and BESA’s minimum intervals set the schedule for each.
SE19 is within the area we cover, which takes in London and the South East. Every job is surveyed first and quoted at a fixed price, wherever it is in SE19.
West Norwood: Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Christopher's Hospice (about 1.6 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Church and community hall kitchens, near West Norwood Congregational Church or anywhere around West Norwood, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Common problems we fix in SE19
Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and from there it travels on to the fan.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
Different parts, different methods
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. School holidays are an easy time to do it.
Canopy and plenum
Grease meets the system first at the canopy and the plenum behind the filters. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. A 3, 6 or 12-monthly maintenance plan keeps it on track, so the date isn’t missed.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in SE19
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- A single visit or a regular plan
- What state the system is in
- How big the system is
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
- A few general shots of the system
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Questions from SE19
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Often, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
Is SE19 in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in SE19, within the South East and London area we cover.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
