About kitchen extract cleaning in NW1W
Cooking sends fat-laden vapour into the canopy with every service. As it cools, it clings to the inside of the ductwork and keeps building. That layer will burn, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. We are often asked to deal with extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit and poor airflow at the canopy, on discharge points, plenums and filters and horizontal duct runs.
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
How we quote
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Kitchen extract cleaning across NW1W: local notes
In NW1W, we work in places such as St Pancras, Bloomsbury and Fitzrovia and well beyond. We cover every place we list for NW1W, 7 in all, and kitchens are cleaned around their opening hours, overnight and at weekends included.
Across London and the South East, we work evenings, overnight and weekends, so sites across NW1W don’t have to lose a day.
St Pancras: School kitchens, at schools like St George the Martyr Church of England Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. For kitchens close to London Kings Cross station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
Why act early?
If your kitchen in NW1W is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. It takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time, and we fit around your opening hours. Waiting only adds grease and risk.
What your quote should include
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
When something else is needed
Kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not put right:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- A duct that’s holed or coming apart
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
The report gives a recommended date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date isn’t missed.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
Common problems we fix in NW1W
A kitchen in NW1W builds up grease in the same places as any other: in long flat runs, at bends and changes of direction, and in the fan housing. Cooler sections of duct collect the most.
Clients usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition we find in the survey
- The size of the system
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Common questions in NW1W
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Short systems are done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. We’ll tell you how long when we quote.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Can you quote from photos?
Often, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.

Will the clean disrupt our service?
We work around your hours. Most kitchens book us overnight or at weekends and the kitchen is ready to cook when we leave.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No law names TR19 directly, 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.
