TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in White City
A closed kitchen is not earning, so the timing of a clean matters. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, or during holidays where a site closes for them. Equipment is switched off and left to cool, the area is sheeted, and the kitchen is handed back ready to cook. The work covers canopies and hoods, discharge points and extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction and an inspection that picked up a dirty extract. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but in White City, as everywhere, the insurer wants the full system cleaned, not just the hood.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
Kitchens in White City, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in White City
Look up White City on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 887 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 177 takeaways and sandwich shops across White City and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. The fire and rescue service for White City is London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Environmental health officers from Hammersmith and Fulham council inspect food businesses in White City. 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.
If you cook for passing trade around Shepherds Bush station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Michael and St George, or anywhere in White City, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

How it works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in White City is usually out of hours.
- First comes a survey of the whole system, by pictures or a visit.
- Set points are tested for grease thickness and the quote is fixed before we start.
- Once the kitchen has closed and the equipment has cooled, we sheet and protect the area.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
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.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in White City
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Years of baked-on grease in the ducts
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
A hospital like Princess Louise Hospital, about 0.5 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included

Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in White City
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The times the site is available
- The condition we find in the survey
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Why deal with it now?
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. Planning ahead in White City lets you pick a quiet night rather than lose a busy one.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Different parts, different methods
Canopy and plenum
Behind the grease filters sits the plenum, which daily cleaning never reaches. We take the filters out and clean the plenum and housing thoroughly.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be booked when the kitchen is closed. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
