About our kitchen extract cleaning in Chelsea Harbour
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That layer will burn, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. If you have missing paperwork after a change of operator and fat running down the canopy edge, we can put it right, from plenums and filters, extract fans and canopies and hoods onwards. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Chelsea Harbour? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Chelsea Harbour is normally done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The size of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Honest limits
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A grease trap that needs emptying
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before booking.

Common questions in Chelsea Harbour
How do you handle parking and loading in Chelsea Harbour?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Chelsea Harbour, and about any building rules on loading. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Chelsea Harbour in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 58 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Chelsea Harbour. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in Chelsea Harbour?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Leave it or put it right?
If your kitchen in Chelsea Harbour 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 fit around your opening hours. Waiting only adds grease and risk. Choosing the date yourself beats having a fault choose it for you.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we’re happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Chelsea Harbour.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and send you a fixed quote.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Part by part
Grease filters
Gaps around filters let fat through to the duct. We check they fit as they should when we refit them, and flag any that don’t.
Extract fan and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, can soak up grease and need attention. We clean what can be reached and note anything that can’t.

Grease, kitchens and Chelsea Harbour
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 132 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 48 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses across Chelsea Harbour and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. In London, kitchens are usually cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier. It’s Kensington and Chelsea council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Chelsea Harbour. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Chelsea Harbour is Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, about 0.6 miles north. School kitchens, at schools like Chelsea Academy for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. For kitchens close to Imperial Wharf station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
