How kitchen extract cleaning works in SW12
Any kitchen we clean in SW12 gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. The work covers canopies and hoods, discharge points and extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history.
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 the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows.
- We survey the system, from your pictures or on site, canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.

Kitchen extract cleaning across SW12: local notes
In SW12, we work in places such as Streatham, Balham and Streatham Hill and well beyond. We cover every place we list for SW12, 7 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. The same TR19® standard applies to all of them, in SW12 and beyond.
Balham: Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Balham, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Balham is St James' Hospital, about 0.5 miles west.
What affects the quote in SW12
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will talk you through it.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, and equipment can be switched back on once we have gone.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
What happens if it’s left?
An overdue clean in SW12 is best dealt with now rather than after the next inspection. It takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and we fit around your opening hours. Waiting only adds grease and risk.
What your quote should include
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Proof of insurance
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
Common questions in SW12
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Is SW12 in your area?
Yes. We cover SW12 and the rest of Greater London, within our South East and London area. To book, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. We’ll recommend a date after measuring the grease.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
