TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Little Venice
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. We are often asked to deal with an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and grease smells coming from the extract, across vertical risers, plenums and filters and canopies and hoods. For TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Little Venice, you get one team and one number for every site.
Grease that collects out of sight, behind the filters and along the duct, is what insurers and fire officers worry about, which is why a TR19® clean in Little Venice goes well beyond the canopy.
Kitchens in Little Venice, 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.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Common problems we fix in Little Venice
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. Flames from a pan or grill can be pulled into the canopy by the fan, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. That’s why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
Clients usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
If you cook for passing trade around London Paddington station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

When it’s something else
Kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It will not put right:
- Extraction that cannot cope with the cooking because of its design
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Grease, kitchens and Little Venice
The Food Standards Agency lists about 78 pubs and bars and about 155 hotels and B&Bs as registered food businesses in and around Little Venice, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. It’s Westminster council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Little Venice. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
A hospital like Maida Vale Hospital for Nervous Diseases, about within half a mile north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Ark Paddington Green Primary Academy tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Little Venice is about 1 mile west of City of Westminster, in Greater London. From the centre of Little Venice to the outskirts, kitchen extract cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from small sites to large estates.

How the visit works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the kitchen extract cleaning, 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. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Little Venice.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Get a fixed quote
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the pictures. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
What affects the quote in Little Venice
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The times the site is available
- What state the system is in
- How big the system is
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
FAQs for Little Venice
Which fire authority looks after Little Venice?
Little Venice is in the area of London Fire Brigade. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Little Venice?
Kitchens in Little Venice are inspected by Westminster council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before work begins.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
Everything from canopy to discharge: canopy inside and out, plenum, grease filters, ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we cannot reach is recorded on the report.
Why act early in Little Venice
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A certificate in the file answers that question. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
