Our kitchen extract cleaning service in SS9
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Send a few pictures of the canopy and filters when you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and you will have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in SS9, usually within one working day. Typical jobs include rancid smells from grease in the duct and ductwork thick with old, hardened grease, on extract fans, horizontal duct runs and canopies and hoods.
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows.
- 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.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.

Kitchen extracts across SS9
In SS9, a busy kitchen in a place such as Leigh-on-Sea, Chalkwell and Eastwood and a quiet village kitchen need very different cleaning intervals. Grease readings and BESA’s minimum intervals set the schedule for each.
We work across London and the South East, and SS9 is part of that area. Every job is surveyed first and quoted at a fixed price. Along the coast in SS9, many hotels, pubs and cafés are at their busiest in the summer, so cleaning is often best booked before or after the peak season.
Leigh-on-Sea: For kitchens close to Leigh-on-Sea station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. School kitchens, at schools like West Leigh Infant School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
When your team notices a problem 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.
Managing agents and facilities teams in SS9
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What we’re called out for in SS9
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so those sections were never reached. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
What the work involves, part by part
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that don’t.
Canopy and plenum
The plenum is out of sight behind the filters, so it’s easy to forget. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
You get a photo report after every clean. 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.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
Questions from SS9
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
