How kitchen extract cleaning works in SM6
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. The work covers horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and plenums and filters, and people most often call us about proof of cleaning requested by an insurer and missing paperwork after a change of operator.
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Pricing in SM6
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Kitchen extract cleaning across SM6: local notes
Our kitchen extract cleaning work across SM6 takes in places such as Carshalton, The Wrythe and Wallington and the villages in between. We cover every place we list for SM6, 12 in all, with cleans booked around trading hours.
In England, the Fire Safety Order puts the duty on the responsible person to assess and reduce fire risk, and each certificate and photo report is a record you can keep in your log book.
Wallington: If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Wallington, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Queen Mary's Hospital For Children (about 1.4 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The scale of the work
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Want a quote for kitchen extract cleaning? Please call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with a few details about the site. We’ll explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
What the work involves, part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School, hospital and care home kitchens often have fixed hours and long holidays, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that can’t be reached.
Leave it or put it right?
An overdue clean in SM6 is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. The job takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you don’t lose a service. Every extra month adds grease.
Comparing quotes
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- What hours they’ll be on site
Common problems we fix in SM6
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, so two kitchens with the same hours can need very different intervals.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Grease smells coming from the extract
FAQs for SM6
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Do you cover SM6?
Yes. Our technicians work in SM6, within the South East and London area we cover.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before work begins.
