Kitchen extract cleaning in North End
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or between services where the kitchen has a gap. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. Common call-outs are for grease drips onto cooking equipment and an extract that no longer clears the smoke, on extract fans, plenums and filters and vertical risers. When a restaurant in North End asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that’s exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
We clean every reachable part of the system in North End: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
In a London area like North End, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

North End kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 156 pubs, bars and clubs and about 98 hotels and guest houses in and around North End, 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. Fire safety in North End falls to London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Environmental health officers from Hammersmith and Fulham council inspect food businesses in North End. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Fulham Hospital is the nearest hospital to North End, about 0.6 miles south-west. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St. Andrew's Fulham Fields or elsewhere in North End, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
North End is about 1 mile south of Kensington, in Greater London. Whatever kind of site you run in North End, kitchen extract cleaning is something we can help with. We can work out of hours so the site keeps running. North End is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover for commercial clients.
Kitchen extract cleaning in W14, SW6 and SW5 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. You will find streets such as Sun Road, Star Road and Field Road, all of which we cover for kitchen extract cleaning. If your site is just outside North End, we cover West Kensington (1 mile east), Brook Green (1 mile north-west), Fulham (1 mile south), Hammersmith (1 mile west) and Brackenbury Village (1 mile north-west). We also work in nearby towns such as London (5 miles east), City of Westminster (3 miles north-east), Marylebone (3 miles north-east), St Pancras (5 miles north-east), Shoreditch (6 miles north-east) and Walthamstow (10 miles north-east).
Landmarks near North End
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Seven Stars pub, Polish Library POSK in London and Avonmore Primary School, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Kensington Olympia station, about 0.5 miles north of the centre. A little further out are Hammersmith Broadway (0.7 miles west) and Montfichet's Tower (4.8 miles east). For a walk, there’s WWT London Wetland Centre and Campden Hill.
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A grease trap that needs emptying
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.
What we work on in North End
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
- Extract fans
- Horizontal duct runs
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
When to call us in North End
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.
Clients typically contact us when they notice something like this:
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
If you cook for passing trade around Kensington Olympia station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Keep grease collection points emptied
Every clean ends with a photo report. It shows the system before and after, part by part, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in North End.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by photos or a visit.
- We measure the grease at set points along the system, then give you a fixed price.
- 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.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

What else we do in North End
North End questions
Do you work at weekends in North End?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can school kitchens in North End be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 89 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of North End. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll fit the work in.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
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.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
TR19 is not written into law, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
We clean every part the grease travels through. Canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers, fan and discharge are all included, reached through access panels where necessary.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition we find in the survey
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
