About kitchen extract cleaning in SW3
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That layer will burn, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. The work covers extract fans, horizontal duct runs and plenums and filters, and common reasons people get in touch are a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer and an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer.
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.

Kitchen extract cleaning across SW3: local notes
Kitchens across SW3 cook for very different hours, from all-day town-centre sites to part-time hall and school kitchens. Grease readings and BESA’s minimum intervals set the schedule for each.
Across London and the South East, we work evenings, overnight and weekends, so sites in SW3 can keep trading.
Brompton: A kitchen near London Victoria station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. For schools such as Hellenic College of London, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, building a layer that gets thicker with every service. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
Look out for any of the following:
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Keep grease collection points emptied
Any section without access is marked on the report. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
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.
What affects the quote in SW3
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The condition of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The site address and the type of premises
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
FAQs for SW3
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. 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.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
Our work is to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, with certificates issued through the BESCA portal. We have been trading since 2009.
