How kitchen extract cleaning works in SE1P
Across SE1P, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. The work covers canopies and hoods, discharge points and extract fans, and people most often call us about rancid smells from grease in the duct and poor airflow at the canopy.
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.

Kitchen extract cleaning across SE1P: local notes
Our kitchen extract cleaning work across SE1P takes in places such as Walworth and the villages in between. We cover every place we list for SE1P, 1 in all, with cleans booked around trading hours.
Much of our work across London and the South East happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so sites in SE1P can keep trading.
Walworth: Commuter trade near Elephant & Castle station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Lady Margaret Church, or anywhere in Walworth, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A damper that sticks or has a damaged link
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in SE1P
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- The times the site is available
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Where the site is and how we reach it
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The site address and the type of premises
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
Managing agents and facilities teams in SE1P
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Leave it or put it right?
A clogged extract doesn’t only raise the fire risk. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky and the fan strains to keep up. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next.
Questions to ask before booking
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- How VAT is shown on the quote
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in SE1P
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How long will the clean take?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. As a guide, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
Do you work in SE1P?
Yes. We work in SE1P and the rest of Greater London, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
BESA guidance gives minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months, depending on daily cooking hours. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, and readings will tell you.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
