Mayfair: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for work in Mayfair?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Do you work overnight in Mayfair?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Mayfair keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
What do I get after the clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours.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.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
No law names TR19 directly, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
Kitchen duct cleaning in Mayfair
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with pictures of the canopy and filters, and we’ll come back with a fixed price for the work in Mayfair, normally within one working day. The work covers horizontal duct runs, extract fans and plenums and filters, and the jobs we see most are an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and grease drips onto cooking equipment. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but in Mayfair, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
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.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. For a kitchen in Mayfair, that normally means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we’re happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Mayfair.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
- The whole route is cleaned, from the canopy through the ductwork to the fan and the discharge.
- Readings and photos are taken again, and you receive a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Get a fixed quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

What affects the quote in Mayfair
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The size of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- A few general shots of the system
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Mayfair
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, and once grease in the duct catches, fire can spread through the building’s ductwork. That is why controlling extract grease belongs in the fire risk assessment.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Grosvenor Chapel, or anywhere in Mayfair, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether VAT is included
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Leave it or put it right?
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many policies require cleaning to TR19, and an insurer can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. In a London building, a problem in a duct, damper or fan rarely stays in one unit.
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.
Why us?
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- One number for every site across the South East and London

Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what kitchen extract cleaning will not do:
- Fire dampers that will not close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A grease trap that needs emptying
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
- Discharge points
- Vertical risers
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
Kitchen extract cleaning in Mayfair: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records include about 244 pubs and bars and about 286 hotels and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Mayfair. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. In Mayfair, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Westminster council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading is not affected.
For schools such as LITE Regal International School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A kitchen near Bond Street station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
Mayfair is about 1 mile south-east of City of Westminster, in Greater London. For kitchen extract cleaning in and around Mayfair, please give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for a fixed quote. Our area covers London and the South East, Mayfair included. Across Greater London, we cover 764 places, Mayfair among them.
Kitchen extract cleaning in W1K, W1F and W1U is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. Whether your site is on Park Lane, Bruton Lane and Market Mews or anywhere close by, our technicians can take on the work. You will find Mayfair on the A4201 and A4202, so it’s easy for us to get to for out-of-hours visits. If your site is just outside Mayfair, we cover Burlington Estate (1 mile east), City of Westminster (1 mile north-west), Marylebone (1 mile north), St James's (1 mile east) and Chinatown (1 mile east). Larger places within reach include Shoreditch (3 miles east), Walthamstow (7 miles north-east), Hoxton (3 miles north-east), Whitechapel (3 miles east), Hampstead (3 miles north-west) and Ruislip (12 miles west).
Local landmarks in Mayfair
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around Royal College of Nursing Library & Museum, Coach and Horses pub and St George's Church of England Primary School and the streets around them. Also close by are Green Park (0.5 miles south) and The St Marylebone CofE School (0.8 miles north). There’s a railway station in Mayfair itself: Bond Street station. Nearby you’ll also find Montfichet's Tower (2 miles east) and London Eye Hospital (0.5 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Ludgate Hill and St. James's Park Lake.
Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
