Our kitchen extract cleaning service in SE4
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with pictures of the canopy and filters, and we will come back with a fixed price for the work in SE4, typically within one working day. We’re often asked to deal with ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and rancid smells from grease in the duct, across vertical risers, plenums and filters and extract fans.
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.

Local landmarks in Telegraph Hill
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Fordham Park, St Catherine's Hatcham and Haberdashers' Hatcham College and the streets around them. Telegraph Hill has its own railway station: Brockley station. Other landmarks nearby include Southwark Adult Education Institute (0.6 miles north-west) and Lewisham Shopping Centre (1.4 miles east). Not far away are St. James's Park Lake and New Cross Gate Cutting.
Kitchen extract cleaning around SE4
Our kitchen extract cleaning work across SE4 takes in places such as New Cross, Nunhead and Telegraph Hill and the villages in between. Every place on our SE4 list (7 in all) is covered, with cleans booked around trading hours.
London and the South East cover everything from city basements to rural kitchens. Wherever the site is in SE4, the work is done to the same TR19® standard.
Telegraph Hill: Church and community hall kitchens, near St Catherine's Hatcham or anywhere around Telegraph Hill, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. A hospital like Southwark Adult Education Institute, about 0.6 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
Every clean ends with a photo report. Before and after photos show each part of the system, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
Why deal with it now?
Putting it off simply moves the grease further down the duct. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, and that takes more work to shift. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter.
Questions to ask before booking
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Managing agents and facilities teams in SE4
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of 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.
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and put back so they seat correctly. Damaged ones are noted on the report.
Common questions in SE4
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll normally reply within one working day.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Where there are not enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
BESA guidance sets minimums by daily cooking hours: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.
Do you work in SE4?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes SE4.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we usually come back within one working day. If photos are not enough, we will survey first.
