Kitchen extract cleaning in SG14: how it works
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That layer will burn, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. Common call-outs are for an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey, on horizontal duct runs, canopies and hoods and plenums and filters.
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- 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 SG14: local notes
Across SG14, from Hertford, Bengeo and Horns Mill outwards, kitchens range from town-centre restaurants and takeaways to pubs, hotels, schools and care homes. Every one gets the same full TR19® clean, from the canopy to the discharge.
SG14 is within the area we cover, which takes in London and the South East. Each job starts with a survey and a fixed quote.
Hertford: School kitchens, at schools like Mill Mead Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A kitchen near Hertford East station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- A few general shots of the system
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
Multi-site and managed buildings
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 records stay tidy.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
What the work involves, part by part
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. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
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 and report suit estates and compliance files.
When something else is needed
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It doesn’t solve:
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- An undersized canopy or fan
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
SG14 questions
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What should I send you?
A short description and a few photos, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Will I get a certificate after the 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.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
Do you work in SG14?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes SG14.
