Kitchen extract cleaning across W1G: what to expect

Across W1G, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. The work covers extract fans, canopies and hoods and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit.

At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system.

  1. We survey the system first, from your pictures and details or on a site visit.
  2. Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
  3. With the kitchen closed and equipment off and cool, the area is sheeted.
  4. We clean the canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
  5. Finally the system is re-tested and photographed, and the certificate and report follow.

How we quote

Kitchen extracts across W1G

Across W1G, from Fitzrovia outwards, kitchens range from town-centre restaurants and takeaways to pubs, hotels, schools and care homes. Each extract is cleaned to the same TR19® standard, canopy to discharge.

We work across London and the South East, and W1G is part of that area. Each job starts with a survey and a fixed quote, wherever it is in W1G.

Fitzrovia: If you cook for passing trade around London Euston station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. A hospital like London Foot Hospital, about under half a mile south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Between visits

Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:

  • Run the extract fan throughout cooking
  • Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
  • Wash or exchange the filters often
  • Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate

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.

Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.

Common problems we fix in W1G

Grease filters are the first line of defence, and they’re often the weak point. Damaged, missing or overloaded filters let grease straight past, and it doesn’t stop until it reaches the fan.

Look out for these warning signs:

  • An inspection that picked up a dirty extract
  • Rancid smells from grease in the duct
  • A TR19 certificate needed for the insurer
  • Grease drips onto cooking equipment

What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning

The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:

  • What state the system is in
  • The times the site is available
  • How big the system is
  • How many systems or sites are involved

We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

What we need to know

A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:

  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • Wide photos of the system and the area around it

The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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.

Different parts, different methods

Canopy and plenum

Canopies vary from a single hood to long runs over several appliances, every section is cleaned and recorded in the photo report before and after.

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.

Managing agents and facilities teams in W1G

We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

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.

Common questions in W1G

Do you work in W1G?

Yes. We cover W1G and across Greater London, within our South East and London area. To book, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Can we book visits on a schedule?

Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.

Will the clean disrupt our service?

We work around your hours. Overnight, weekend and between-service cleans are all possible and the kitchen is ready to cook when we leave.

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.

How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?

Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site and its opening hours.

How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?

Short systems are done in a few hours, but large systems may be spread over more than one visit. We will tell you how long when we quote.

Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?

We clean every part the grease travels through. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where needed.
