TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Fitzrovia
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. The work covers discharge points, extract fans and horizontal duct runs, and the jobs we see most are an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Fitzrovia usually mean the kitchen extract, and that’s our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Fitzrovia: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. In Fitzrovia, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Fitzrovia?
It’s common for parts of a duct to have been missed for years. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so those sections were never reached. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Poor airflow at the canopy
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Whitefield's Tabernacle or elsewhere in Fitzrovia, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Fitzrovia
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The scale of the work
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- A few general shots of the system
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Questions from Fitzrovia
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Fitzrovia?
Food hygiene inspections in Fitzrovia are carried out by Camden council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Which fire authority looks after Fitzrovia?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Fitzrovia. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
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.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Allow a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
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 shows before and after photos, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Extraction that can’t cope with the cooking because of its design
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A grease trap that needs emptying
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.

Leave it or put it right?
Any food business in Fitzrovia can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. A clean extract is one less thing to worry about on the day. London sites work long hours, and the longer a job is left, the bigger it gets.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Grease and dirty water are collected and taken off site, and equipment can be switched back on once we’ve gone.
Book the next clean before the last one runs out. BESA guidance links the minimum interval to daily cooking hours, so a change in hours may mean a change in interval, and grease readings will show it.
How it works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, which 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 Fitzrovia.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before we start.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings and pictures are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading is not affected.
