About kitchen extract cleaning in W12
Few kitchens can stop cooking for a day so the extract can be cleaned. 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 plenums and filters, horizontal duct runs and extract fans, and the jobs we see most are an inspection that picked up a dirty extract and grease drips onto cooking equipment.
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system.
- 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.

Where we work in W12
Our kitchen extract cleaning work across W12 takes in places such as Acton, Hammersmith and Bedford Park and the villages in between. We cover every place we list for W12, 8 in all, and kitchens are cleaned around their opening hours, overnight and at weekends included.
Much of our work across London and the South East happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so sites across W12 do not have to lose a day.
Shepherd's Bush: If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like West London Hospital about 0.8 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. School kitchens, at schools like Addison Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Different parts, different methods
Ductwork and risers
Bends and changes of direction trap more grease than straight runs. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
Canopy and plenum
The canopy catches the vapour, and the plenum behind the filters is where it first condenses. We clean both inside and out, with the filter housing cleaned too.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in W12
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition of the system
- The scale of the work
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.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Your last certificate, test record or report
If you need kitchen extract cleaning in W12, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Wipe the canopy down at the end of each day
- File each certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
You get a photo report after every clean. Before and after photos show each part of the system, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Cooking with the extract off lets grease and heat settle in the canopy, and the next clean has more to do.
FAQs for W12
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
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.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in W12?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before work begins.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. The certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report includes before and after photos, grease readings and the recommended next clean date.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Does the law say I must clean to TR19?
TR19 isn’t written into law, but the Fire Safety Order 2005 does require the responsible person to manage fire risk. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19 as the standard, and many policies require it.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. If photos are not enough, we’ll survey first.
