About kitchen extract cleaning in SE21
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That film is fuel, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. We are often asked to deal with cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and poor airflow at the canopy, on plenums and filters, canopies and hoods and extract fans.
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time, and we clear up before we go.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.

Kitchen extracts across SE21
Kitchens across SE21 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.
From central London kitchens to coastal hotels and country pubs, London and the South East have every kind of site. The same TR19® standard applies to all of them, in SE21 and beyond.
West Dulwich: A hospital like St Christopher's Hospice, about 1.3 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Stephen or elsewhere in West Dulwich, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- What state the system is in
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Any permits to work or inductions
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
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.
Part by part
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
When something else is needed
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A canopy that is too small or a system that was badly designed
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in SE21
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19® itself isn’t law. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Do you work in SE21?
Yes. We work in SE21 and the rest of Greater London, within our South East and London area. To book, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
How long will the clean take?
It takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
