Why Washington kitchens need scheduled extract cleaning
Washington kitchens run hot and long, and the grease that leaves the pan does not disappear — it settles inside your canopy, filters and ductwork.
Working across Tyne and Wear, our engineers dismantle the canopy, hand-scrub plenum and duct surfaces, clean impellers and housings, and photograph every stage.
Reports are issued within 24 hours, so Washington operators can file evidence the same week the work is done.
Because Washington has a strong presence of hospital catering departments, most of our work here happens overnight or on closed days, with keys, alarm codes and access agreed in writing beforehand.
Washington population approx. 67,000 — one of the UK's most populated areas, served from our Tyne and Wear base.
Heavy-use kitchens in Washington — high-volume frying, charcoal grills, wok ranges — usually need quarterly cleaning. Moderate use is six-monthly and light use annual.
Fixed written quotes for Washington sites from £275, priced by canopy length and duct run rather than hourly rates.

What Washington kitchens say about us
5.0
Average from 60 verified kitchen extract jobs in and around Washington
Booked them after our insurer asked for a TR/19 certificate we did not have. Crew arrived in Washington at 11pm, stripped the canopy and duct, and the report with before-and-after photos landed the next morning. Fair price for the amount of work involved.

Quoted a fixed price after a free survey, no hourly creep, and they worked around our closed day so we lost no covers. Already booked the next visit.

Filters came back looking new, the plenum was spotless and the kitchen was left cleaner than they found it. Now on a six-monthly schedule. Would use again without hesitating.

FAQs
Extractor fan cleaning in Washington — your questions
Is duct cleaning a legal requirement in Washington?
Fire safety law requires you to manage grease build-up, and most insurers write TR/19 Grease compliance into your policy. In practice, Tyne and Wear environmental health teams and your insurer both expect documented cleaning for any Washington kitchen with a commercial extract system.
What happens if my ductwork has no access panels?
We survey the Washington system, clean everything reachable, and quote separately for fitting compliant access hatches so the whole run can be certified next time.
Do you clean the extract fan itself?
Yes — impeller, housing, motor casing and discharge are all stripped, degreased and rebalanced where needed. A clogged impeller is the usual reason a Washington kitchen feels smoky.
Are your engineers insured and vetted?
All 4 engineers covering Washington are directly employed, DBS-checked where required, IPAF/PASMA trained for work at height and covered by £10m public liability.
