Kitchen extract cleaning across SS13: what to expect
Not sure when the extract was last cleaned, or by whom? Just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with photos of the canopy and filters, and we will come back with a fixed price for the work in SS13, usually within one working day. We’re often asked to deal with an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and a system with no record of a TR19 clean, on plenums and filters, vertical risers and canopies and hoods.
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.

Where we work in SS13
Our kitchen extract cleaning work across SS13 takes in places such as Basildon, Pitsea and Vange and the villages in between. We cover every place we list for SS13, 5 in all, with cleans booked around trading hours.
From central London kitchens to coastal hotels and country pubs, London and the South East have every kind of site. Wherever the site is in SS13, the work is done to the same TR19® standard.
Pitsea: A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Saint Gabriel's Church or elsewhere in Pitsea, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Basildon University Hospital about 2.3 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in SS13
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The number of sites or systems
- How big the system is
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition of the system
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
Why deal with it now?
Grease that is left only gets thicker. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether a survey comes first
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the price is fixed
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- A broken extract fan that will not run
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
Managing agents and facilities teams in SS13
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
SS13: your questions answered
How long will the clean take?
That depends on the size of the system, the amount of grease and the number of access points. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
BESA guidance gives minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months, depending on daily cooking hours. Kitchens that fry or grill a lot may need cleaning sooner, and readings will tell you.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
