Greater London · Kitchen extract cleaning
Kitchen extract cleaning in West Brompton, Greater London
For kitchen extract cleaning in West Brompton, one call is all it takes: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
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.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
A pub or restaurant can’t afford to cancel a service for a clean. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in West Brompton
Has the extract gone a while without a clean, or has the paperwork gone missing? Just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with photos of the canopy and filters, and you will have a fixed quote for kitchen extract cleaning in West Brompton, usually within one working day. The work covers horizontal duct runs, extract fans and plenums and filters, and people most often call us about a kitchen taken over without any extract records and an extract that no longer clears the smoke. Hood cleaning is where most enquiries from West Brompton start: a system that’s clean inside, not just on the surface, and a certificate that proves it.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
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. In West Brompton, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Questions from West Brompton
Do you work overnight in West Brompton?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in West Brompton can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in West Brompton in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 76 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of West Brompton. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
Do you work in West Brompton?
Yes. West Brompton is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
How it works
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. All told, the work takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we are happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in West Brompton.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Advice
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Parking and loading at the site
- The number of sites or systems
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Why deal with it now?
Any food business in West Brompton can expect visits from the council’s environmental health officers, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
What you get with us
- Trading since 2009
- A written report with pictures after each visit
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
The kitchen is left clean and ready for the next service. Waste grease and water are contained and removed, so you can start cooking as normal.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in West Brompton?
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so nobody could get to them. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Grease smells coming from the extract
Where a hall near Church of St Luke, or anywhere in West Brompton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Questions to ask before you book
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Proof of insurance
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Grease, kitchens and West Brompton
The Food Standards Agency lists about 140 pubs and bars and about 69 hotels and guest houses as registered food businesses across West Brompton and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. London jobs typically start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first. In West Brompton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Kensington and Chelsea council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
For schools such as St Cuthbert with St Matthias CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Western Hospital (about less than half a mile south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
