Kitchen extract cleaning in SW1V: how it works
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 SW1V, our certificate and photo report give you that record for the maintenance log. We’re often asked to deal with grease dripping from the canopy or filters and grease smells coming from the extract, on discharge points, canopies and hoods and vertical risers.
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
What affects the price in SW1V

Where we work in SW1V
Our kitchen extract cleaning work across SW1V takes in places such as City of Westminster, Victoria and Westminster and the villages in between. Every place on our SW1V list (6 in all) is covered, with cleans booked around trading hours.
Across England, including SW1V, the responsible person has a legal duty to assess and reduce fire risk, and a TR19® certificate and photo report give you a record of the work.
Victoria: Church and community hall kitchens, near St. Michael's Church or anywhere around Victoria, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St Peter's Eaton Square CofE Primary School or anywhere near Victoria, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Why act early?
If your kitchen in SW1V is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. It takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system, and we fit around your opening hours. Waiting only adds grease and risk.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- What hours they’ll be on site
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in SW1V
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The times the site is available
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
No two sites are the same, 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 we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your last certificate, test record or report
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- Do not let the canopy gutters overflow
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise right away
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. A daily wipe is not a deep clean, but it helps between visits.
SW1V: your questions answered
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19 is the benchmark used to show extract grease is under control.
How often should a kitchen extract be cleaned?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
It takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. The survey tells us how long your system will need.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
