Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Camden Town
Any kitchen we clean in Camden Town gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. At the finish there’s a TR19 certificate and a before and after photo report. If you have fat running down the canopy edge and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, we can help, from plenums and filters, canopies and hoods and horizontal duct runs onwards. When a restaurant in Camden Town asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
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. For a kitchen in Camden Town, that typically means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
We hand the kitchen back clean, with the sheeting removed and waste taken away. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, so you can start cooking as normal.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, which slows build-up further down the system.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Camden Town.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear the space around the work
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.

What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- A broken extract fan that will not run
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on in Camden Town
- Canopies and hoods

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Why act early in Camden Town
If your kitchen in Camden Town is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. The job takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends so you don’t lose a service. Every extra month adds grease. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Kitchen extracts in Camden Town
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 179 pubs, bars and clubs and about 105 hotels and guest houses in Camden Town and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. London jobs typically start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first. Food hygiene inspections in Camden Town are the job of Camden council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
For kitchens close to Camden Road station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Michael's Church or anywhere around Camden Town, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

FAQs for Camden Town
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Camden Town out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Camden Town, the Food Standards Agency lists about 83 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Do you work overnight in Camden Town?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Camden Town can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Where there are not enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
Every clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment, ready for your insurer or an inspection.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19® itself is not law. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve dealt with extract grease.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to cut noise, and they hold grease. Where they can be cleaned, they are, and the report notes anything that cannot.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, and measured readings show whether the minimum interval is enough.
