Kitchen extract cleaning in SW20: how it works

We’ve been trading since 2009, cleaning kitchen extracts across the South East and London. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. Common call-outs are for an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and poor airflow at the canopy, across plenums and filters, horizontal duct runs and canopies and hoods.

Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.

  1. First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
  2. Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
  3. We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
  4. Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
  5. The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.

Pricing in SW20

Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Other local landmarks include Dundonald Church (within half a mile north), The Edward Rayne pub (within half a mile west) and Harris Academy Wimbledon (less than half a mile south-east). There’s a railway station in Bushey Mead itself: Raynes Park station. Nearby you will also find Atkinson Morley Hospital (0.9 miles north-west) and Chessington Castle Hill (4.6 miles south-west). Open spaces near Bushey Mead include Cherry Wood and Henman Hill.

Kitchen extracts across SW20

In SW20, a busy kitchen in a place such as Wimbledon, Morden and New Malden and a quiet village kitchen need very different cleaning intervals. The right interval comes from hours of use and grease readings.

Across England, including SW20, the responsible person has a legal duty to assess and reduce fire risk, and each certificate and photo report is a record you can keep in your log book.

Bushey Mead: School kitchens, at schools like Joseph Hood Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Church and community hall kitchens, near Dundonald Church or anywhere around Bushey Mead, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

For landlords and multi-site operators

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

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. Leave those to us.

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in SW20

The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:

  • The number of sites or systems
  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
  • The scale of the work
  • The condition we find in the survey

What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Helping us quote

To help us quote quickly, send us:

  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • Problems your staff have spotted
  • Your last certificate, test record or report

Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Between visits

To keep the system working properly between visits:

  • Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
  • Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
  • Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
  • Do not let the canopy gutters overflow

The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date is not missed.

Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.

Honest limits

Some problems need a different service or another trade:

  • Damaged duct sections that need replacing
  • Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
  • Faulty fire dampers in the duct

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in SW20

How much notice do you need?

Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.

How do you keep the site clean during the work?

By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.

Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?

All of it, from the canopy through to the discharge. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.

What do you need from me for a quote?

Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.

What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?

Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. They belong in the maintenance log, ready for your insurer or an inspection.

Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?

Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
