Greater London · Kitchen extract cleaning
Kitchen extraction cleaning in Holland Park
Kitchen extract cleaning across Holland Park and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and signed off in writing with pictures.
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
- A fan motor that has burnt out
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.

Kitchen duct cleaning in Holland Park
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: diagnose with a survey, treat with a thorough clean, then sign it off. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you are dealing with missing paperwork after a change of operator and proof of cleaning requested by an insurer, we can put it right. If you need a kitchen extract clean in Holland Park, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork, wherever you are in Greater London.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Holland Park: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, and the discharge where it can be reached.
Kitchens in Holland Park, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Common questions in Holland Park
How do you handle parking and loading in Holland Park?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Holland Park, and about any building rules on loading. If the building has a loading slot system, we’ll book into it.
Who inspects food businesses in Holland Park?
Food hygiene inspections in Holland Park are carried out by Hammersmith and Fulham council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
A TR19 Grease clean covers the full extract route, not just the canopy. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where needed.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
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.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How the job changes from site to site
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. Both are scraped and degreased inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Some healthcare kitchens never fully close. We plan the clean around meal times and work in a contained, tidy way, so residents and patients are not disturbed.

Common problems we fix in Holland Park
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. Under BESA guidance, heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means a clean at least every 3 months, moderate use every 6 months and light use every 12. Those are minimums, and grease readings can show a kitchen needs cleaning sooner.
Look out for any of the following:
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
Where a hall near Church of St George, or anywhere in Holland Park, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What your quote should include
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Proof of insurance
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.
What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Holland Park
Food Standards Agency records list about 1,362 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 174 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Holland Park. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Holland Park sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. London jobs typically start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.
For kitchens close to Kensington Olympia station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Mary Abbot's Hospital (about 0.7 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What we do, step by step
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 first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. For a job in Holland Park, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- 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.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- What state the system is in
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
