Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Paddington Green
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. Cleans are booked for evenings, overnight or weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. With the equipment off and cool and the area sheeted, we clean and hand the kitchen back ready for the next service. The work covers plenums and filters, canopies and hoods and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are grease drips onto cooking equipment and an extract that no longer clears the smoke. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but in Paddington Green, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
Before we clean, we look at where the grease is: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and the same readings after the clean show the result.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Paddington Green is normally done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What staff can safely do
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 they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
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.
Paddington Green kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 83 pubs, bars and clubs and about 183 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered within about 1.5 miles of central Paddington Green. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected. The fire and rescue service for Paddington Green is London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
For schools such as Ark Paddington Green Primary Academy, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Paddington Green is Maida Vale Hospital for Nervous Diseases, about 0.5 miles north-west. Where a hall near St Mary on Paddington Green Church, or anywhere in Paddington Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Questions from Paddington Green
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Paddington Green?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Paddington Green. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Which council inspects kitchens in Paddington Green?
The local authority for Paddington Green is Westminster council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.

How the job changes from site to site
Schools, hospitals and care homes
School kitchens can look lightly used but still need a TR19 clean at least every 12 months under BESA guidance. Holidays make it simple to schedule.
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. Each run is cleaned through its access panels, recording any that cannot be reached.
Why act early in Paddington Green
A clogged extract does not only raise the fire risk. Filters block, airflow drops and the kitchen gets hotter and smokier and the fan strains to keep up. Grease drips, smells and condensation are common next. In a London building, a problem in a duct, damper or fan rarely stays in one unit.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.

What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system. Before any visit in Paddington Green, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, 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.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
What affects the quote in Paddington Green
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The scale of the work
- Where the site is and how we reach it
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What a clean will not put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
- A grease trap that needs emptying
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
