TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Limehouse
Kitchen extract cleaning for Limehouse, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Fat running down the canopy edge
How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Most London sites can’t stop for the day, so work in Limehouse is typically done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

About our kitchen extract cleaning in Limehouse
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in Limehouse, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. If you are dealing with grease smells coming from the extract and a new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history, we can put it right, from extract fans, vertical risers and plenums and filters onwards. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Limehouse, one call covers the survey, the clean and the paperwork.
Access decides how thorough a clean can be. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
Kitchens in Limehouse, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition of the system
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
If you need kitchen extract cleaning in Limehouse, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Part by part
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
Grease filters
Baffle filters are cleaned as part of every TR19 clean, and refitted so they sit properly in the housing. We will tell you if any need replacing.

Common questions in Limehouse
Can the work in Limehouse be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Limehouse keeps running as normal. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What do you need to know about parking in Limehouse?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Limehouse makes the visit easier to plan. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we normally come back within one working day. If pictures aren’t enough, we will survey first.
Is Limehouse in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in Limehouse, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
A TR19 certificate, plus a full photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
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 necessary.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Limehouse: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 73 pubs, bars and clubs and about 16 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Limehouse. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Limehouse is covered by London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s Tower Hamlets council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Limehouse. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Stepney Greencoat Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Limehouse, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Paul's Bow Common or anywhere around Limehouse, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St Clement's Hospital is the nearest hospital to Limehouse, about 0.7 miles north.

What happens if it’s left?
If your kitchen in Limehouse 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. Waiting only adds grease and risk. A booked night’s work in Limehouse costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
You get a photo report after every clean. Before and after pictures show each part of the system, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
