What we’re called out for in Belgravia
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. As the air cools on its way through the duct, the fat condenses and sticks, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. The grease filters stop some, never all of it.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
If you cook for passing trade around London Victoria station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Kitchen duct cleaning in Belgravia
Insurers often want evidence of regular TR19 cleaning, and some may refuse or reduce a claim when it’s missing. The certificate and photo report from each clean in Belgravia give you that record for the maintenance log. If you are dealing with years of baked-on grease in the ducts and a kitchen taken over without any extract records, we can help, from discharge points, extract fans and horizontal duct runs onwards. Most calls from Belgravia come after an insurer, an EHO or a fire officer asks to see the last TR19 certificate. We handle the clean and the paperwork in one visit.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, which is why a TR19® clean in Belgravia goes well beyond the canopy.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. In Belgravia, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Common questions in Belgravia
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Belgravia during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 60 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Belgravia, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you work at weekends in Belgravia?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Belgravia keeps running as normal. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
We clean every part the grease travels through. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where needed.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What do I get after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Most London sites cannot stop for the day, so work in Belgravia is typically done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- 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.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Advice
Kitchen extract cleaning in Belgravia: the local picture
The FSA’s data shows about 137 pubs and bars and about 172 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Belgravia. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. It’s Westminster council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Belgravia. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Belgravia falls to London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like London Lock Hospital about less than half a mile north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. For schools such as Holy Trinity CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What else we do in Belgravia
How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
Behind the grease filters sits the plenum, which daily cleaning never reaches. With the filters out, the plenum is scraped and degreased.
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
Leave it or put it right?
TR19® isn’t law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which in a kitchen includes the grease in the extract. TR19 is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. A busy site in Belgravia builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Belgravia
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Any permits to work or inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition we find in the survey
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
