Kitchen extract cleaning across SE3: what to expect
Any kitchen we clean in SE3 gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. We survey first and take grease readings, then clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. We’re often asked to deal with missing paperwork after a change of operator and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit, across canopies and hoods, horizontal duct runs and plenums and filters.
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- 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.
What you will pay
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Around Blackheath
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Blackheath Proprietary School, St Matthew Academy and The Princess Of Wales Pub, among other places. Other local landmarks include All Saints' Church of England Primary School Blackheath (within half a mile west), Manor House Gardens (1 mile south) and Church of All Saints (under half a mile south-west). There’s a railway station in Blackheath itself: Blackheath station. Nearby you will also find Lewisham Shopping Centre (1.1 miles south-west) and Royal Observatory (0.7 miles north-west). Not far away are Tower Hill and Birdbrook Road Nature Reserve.
Where we work in SE3
Across SE3, from Greenwich, Westcombe Park and Well Hall outwards, kitchens range from town-centre restaurants and takeaways to pubs, hotels, schools and care homes. Each extract is cleaned to the same TR19® standard, canopy to discharge.
Across England, including SE3, 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.
Blackheath: For kitchens close to Blackheath station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Greenwich District Hospital (about 1.1 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What the work involves, part by part
Grease filters
A filter that is missing or bent lets grease straight past. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that do not.
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.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in SE3
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- What state the system is in
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in SE3 and across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Why it fails
A kitchen in SE3 builds up grease in the same places as any other: long horizontal runs, bends, the base of risers and around the fan. The cooler the duct, the more grease drops out of the air.
What we are most often called out for:
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- Fat running down the canopy edge
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
Common questions in SE3
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in SE3?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will usually reply within one working day.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
We clean every part the grease travels through. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where needed.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. The report lists what was cleaned, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next clean is due.
