How kitchen extract cleaning works in SW14
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with pictures of the canopy and filters, and we will come back with a fixed price for the work in SW14, normally within one working day. The work covers horizontal duct runs, plenums and filters and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer and grease smells coming from the extract.
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job 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.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
What affects the price in SW14
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Kitchen extract cleaning across SW14: local notes
In SW14, we work in places such as Richmond upon Thames, Barnes and Chiswick and well beyond. Every place on our SW14 list (7 in all) is covered, and kitchens are cleaned around their opening hours, overnight and at weekends included.
SW14 is within the area we cover, which takes in London and the South East. Each job starts with a survey and a fixed quote.
Mortlake: A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near All Saints' Church or elsewhere in Mortlake, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Thomson House School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
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.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy every part is to reach
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition of the system
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Why it fails
Grease in an extract starts as vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- Extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit
Different parts, different methods
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. Each run is cleaned through its access panels, recording any that can’t be reached.
Grease filters
Between TR19 cleans, filters still need regular cleaning, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.
FAQs for SW14
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
BESA guidance sets minimums by daily cooking hours: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and 12-monthly for light use. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
