Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Marylebone
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Beyond the filters run the plenum, the ducts and risers, the fan and the point where air leaves the building, and grease settles in every one of them. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. If you’re dealing with ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and grease smells coming from the extract, we can put it right, from horizontal duct runs, extract fans and plenums and filters onwards. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, in Marylebone it means the same thing to us: the whole system, cleaned and certificated.
Most kitchens in Marylebone fall into one of BESA’s three bands: every 3 months for 12–16 hours, every 6 months for 6–12 hours and every 12 months for 2–6 hours, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Marylebone is normally done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, 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.

What the work involves, part by part
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate and report suit estates and compliance files.
Marylebone kitchens: local notes
There are about 3,845 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 393 takeaways and sandwich shops across Marylebone and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too. Kitchens in Marylebone get their food hygiene inspections from Westminster council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Vincent's Catholic Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Commuter trade near Bond Street station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Russian chapel on Welbeck Street, or anywhere in Marylebone, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Around Marylebone

For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
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.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
Why act early in Marylebone
Grease that is left only gets thicker. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. The longer it’s left, the bigger the job becomes. It’s better booked as a planned job in Marylebone than handled as an emergency.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. If your building in Marylebone has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- You send photos 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.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Advice
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Marylebone
How do you handle parking and loading in Marylebone?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Marylebone?
Food hygiene inspections in Marylebone are carried out by Westminster council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Is Marylebone in your area?
Yes. We cover Marylebone and the rest of Greater London, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Where there aren’t enough access panels to reach a section, it’s recorded, and we can fit new ones.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
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 advise on what to do next.
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.
Are you accredited for kitchen extract cleaning?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we are fully insured.
What kitchen extract cleaning can’t fix
