School Kitchen Extraction Cleaning London
SCHOOLS & COLLEGES
Kitchen extraction cleaning for London schools, colleges and universities
School and college kitchens produce large volumes of food in short, intense services, and their extract systems collect grease just like a restaurant's. Duct Clean London cleans canopies, filters, ductwork and extract fans for schools, academies, colleges and university catering, with visits planned around term dates and your site's rules.
Most schools prefer extraction cleaning during half-term or the summer holidays, when the kitchen is closed and fewer people are on site. We plan early so the work fits your holiday maintenance programme and agree the scope with the business manager, site manager or catering contractor.
Tell us who runs the kitchen, whether the catering is in-house or contracted, where the extract fan and discharge are located, and your rules on site access, signing in and working while pupils are present. If the work has to happen during term time, we can plan it after the end of the school day.
Clear records for estates and governors
Schools need to show that kitchen extract systems are properly maintained as part of fire safety management, and insurers often ask for evidence. TR19 Grease from BESA is the recognised specification for kitchen extract cleaning. Our post-clean records show what was cleaned, any areas that could not be reached and recommended follow-up, which helps business managers, estates teams and multi-academy trusts keep consistent records across sites.

Keep our photographs and notes with your premises records to plan the next holiday visit.
Planning across several schools
Multi-academy trusts and school groups often want every kitchen cleaned in the same holiday period with consistent records. We can plan a schedule across sites, agree one point of contact and provide records in the same format for each kitchen. Contracted caterers can also arrange cleaning directly with us where that is their responsibility. We cover North West, West and Central London and welcome enquiries throughout Zones 1–4.
Working safely on a school site
We follow your site's signing-in and safeguarding procedures and work only in agreed areas. Cooking equipment must be off and cool, and the extract fan safely isolated before cleaning. Roof-mounted fans may need roof access arrangements, and we discuss these with the site manager beforehand. Grease waste is bagged and removed, and the kitchen is left clean.
What cleaning cannot fix
Cleaning removes grease from accessible surfaces but cannot repair a worn fan, faulty controls or ductwork without access points. We record any limitations clearly so your estates team or maintenance contractor can plan repairs or additional access panels.
