Kitchen extract cleaning across SM3: what to expect
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and each part collects grease. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. The work covers extract fans, canopies and hoods and plenums and filters, and common reasons people get in touch are extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history.
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.

Kitchen extracts across SM3
Kitchens across SM3 cook for very different hours, from all-day town-centre sites to part-time hall and school kitchens. The right interval comes from hours of use and grease readings.
SM3 is within the area we cover, which takes in London and the South East. Each job starts with a survey and a fixed quote.
North Cheam: Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to North Cheam is St. Anthony's Hospital, about 0.6 miles north. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Cheam Park Farm Primary Academy or anywhere near North Cheam, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in SM3
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- What state the system is in
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- A few general shots of the system
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Why deal with it now?
A clogged extract doesn’t only raise the fire risk. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the fan strains to keep up. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next.
Questions to ask before you book
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- 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
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
What your team can do, and what needs us
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 will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
FAQs for SM3
Will the clean disrupt our service?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, working evenings, overnight or at weekends to suit you. We need the equipment switched off and cooled first.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
We clean every part the grease travels through. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where needed.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
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 a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Many insurers ask for proof of regular cleaning to TR19, and many policies require it. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
The minimum is set by BESA guidance on daily use, from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Heavy frying and grilling can mean shorter intervals, and readings will tell you.
