Our kitchen extract cleaning service in SE2
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with photos of the canopy and filters, and we will come back with a fixed price for the work in SE2, normally within one working day. We’re often asked to deal with grease dripping from the canopy or filters and an extract that no longer clears the smoke, across vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and discharge points.
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows.
- You send photos 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.
- 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.
Pricing in SE2
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Kitchen extract cleaning across SE2: local notes
Our kitchen extract cleaning work across SE2 takes in places such as Thamesmead, East Wickham and Abbey Wood and the villages in between. Every place on our SE2 list (5 in all) is covered, with cleans booked around trading hours.
Across England, including SE2, the responsible person has a legal duty to assess and reduce fire risk, and a TR19® certificate and photo report give you a record of the work.
Abbey Wood: If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Alexander McLeod Primary School or anywhere near Abbey Wood, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Bexley Hospital is the nearest hospital to Abbey Wood, about 2.2 miles south-east.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What happens if it’s left?
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A certificate in the file answers that question.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re fully insured
- If they look at the system before pricing
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in SE2
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How easy every part is to reach
- Travel, parking and unloading
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

What the work involves, part by part
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. Cleans are done after close, overnight or before opening.
Ductwork and risers
Risers take the extract up through floors to roof level, and grease runs down their walls and pools at the base. Access panels along the riser let us clean it in sections.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
SE2: your questions answered
When do you clean the extract?
When the kitchen is closed, at whatever time suits you. We need the equipment cool, and we leave the kitchen ready to cook.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Normally, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we usually come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
No law names TR19 directly, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
