TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Shepherd's Bush
We cover Shepherd's Bush for TR19 Grease cleaning of complete kitchen extract systems, from canopy to discharge. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with photos on every job.
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Shepherd's Bush
Many insurers ask for proof that the extract has been cleaned to TR19, and a claim can be refused or reduced without it. For a kitchen in Shepherd's Bush, our certificate and photo report give you that record, ready for the fire risk assessment file. Typical jobs include stale cooking odours from the system and missing paperwork after a change of operator, on extract fans, plenums and filters and horizontal duct runs. Kitchens in Shepherd's Bush book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. For a kitchen in Shepherd's Bush, that typically means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Different parts, different methods
Grease filters
A filter that is missing or bent lets grease straight past. Each filter is checked as it goes back in, and flag any that do not.
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 Shepherd's Bush
Every week without a clean adds another layer. BESA guidance says the mean should not go above 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. For a site in Shepherd's Bush, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

What affects the quote in Shepherd's Bush
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The condition of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How big the system is
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any previous report or certificate
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
If you need kitchen extract cleaning in Shepherd's Bush, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
What we’re called out for in Shepherd's Bush
Hours of cooking are the biggest factor. BESA guidance sets minimum cleaning intervals of every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours a day, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours, and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. They are minimums: measured grease levels set the real interval.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Fat running down the canopy edge
A hospital like West London Hospital, about 0.8 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Grease, kitchens and Shepherd's Bush
There are about 1,097 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 157 takeaways in Shepherd's Bush and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. In London, kitchens are normally cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier. Shepherd's Bush is covered by London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you run a café or takeaway near Shepherds Bush station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Shepherd's Bush Tabernacle or elsewhere in Shepherd's Bush, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Shepherd's Bush is about 1 mile west of Kensington, in Greater London. We carry out kitchen extract cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Shepherd's Bush and the rest of Greater London. Across Greater London, we cover 764 places, and Shepherd's Bush is one of them.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Shepherd's Bush
Do you work overnight in Shepherd's Bush?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Shepherd's Bush can fit around your hours. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
How do you handle parking and loading in Shepherd's Bush?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Shepherd's Bush makes the visit easier to plan. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
We don’t 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 any work starts.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Why do insurers care about extract cleaning?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many insurers require TR19 cleaning, and may refuse or reduce a claim without proof, so keep every certificate.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
No law names TR19 directly, but the responsible person still has a legal duty under the Fire Safety Order 2005. TR19 is the standard insurers and fire officers expect, and many policies require it.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
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.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time, and we clear up before we go. If your building in Shepherd's Bush has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Find the previous report, if there is one
