Kitchen extract cleaning for sites in Burlington Estate

Part by part

Restaurant and pub kitchens

Losing a service is not an option for most restaurants and pubs. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.

Grease filters

Filters need cleaning far more often than the duct, and a filter exchange service can take that off your hands. Keeping them clean helps the rest of the system stay cleaner.

Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Burlington Estate

Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That film is fuel, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. The work covers canopies and hoods, discharge points and extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and an extract that no longer clears the smoke. Most calls from Burlington Estate 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.

What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.

London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. In Burlington Estate, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.

The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Honest limits

It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:

  • Faulty fire dampers in the duct
  • An undersized canopy or fan
  • Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)

Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What the work covers

  • Plenums and filters
  • Horizontal duct runs
  • Extract fans
  • Vertical risers
  • Discharge points
  • Canopies and hoods

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. Before any visit in Burlington Estate, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.

  1. First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
  2. We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
  3. After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
  4. The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
  5. The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.

Before we arrive

For landlords and multi-site operators

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.

If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.

What happens if it’s left?

If your kitchen in Burlington Estate is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. It takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you do not lose a service. Waiting only adds grease and risk. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.

What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

FAQs for Burlington Estate

Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Burlington Estate?

Kitchens in Burlington Estate are inspected by Westminster council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.

Does London parking affect a job in Burlington Estate?

We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. If the building has a loading slot system, we’ll book into it.

How long does a kitchen extract clean take?

Allow anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. The survey tells us how long your system will need.

Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?

Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. An insurer may refuse or reduce a claim if there’s no evidence, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.

Can you set up regular visits?

Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.

What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?

A TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after pictures, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.

Will the clean disrupt our service?

When the kitchen is closed, at whatever time suits you. The equipment is switched off and left to cool, and we hand the kitchen back ready for the next service.

What do you do with what you remove?

It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.

Between visits

To keep the system working properly between visits:

  • Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
  • Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
  • Never cook with filters missing or out of place
  • Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works

Any section without access is marked on the report. That is part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.

Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning

You will get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:

  • One-off work versus a regular cycle
  • Whether several sites go on one quote
  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
  • What state the system is in

Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

What to send for a quote

To speed up the quote, please include:

  • The postcode and the type of business
  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
  • Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site

Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Kitchen extracts in Burlington Estate

The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3,810 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 374 takeaways and sandwich shops across Burlington Estate and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. London Fire Brigade covers Burlington Estate. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. London jobs normally start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.

A hospital like St James Workhouse, about less than half a mile north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Bursars and site managers at schools such as LITE Regal International School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A kitchen near Bond Street station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
