Kitchen extract cleaning in W1H: how it works
We treat an extract system much as a doctor treats a patient: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Typical jobs include cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey and a kitchen taken over without any extract records, across vertical risers, canopies and hoods and plenums and filters.
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.

Kitchen extract cleaning across W1H: local notes
In W1H, we work in places such as Paddington Green, Paddington and Connaught Village and well beyond. We cover every place we list for W1H, 6 in all, and kitchens are cleaned around their opening hours, overnight and at weekends included.
W1H is within the area we cover, which takes in London and the South East. Each job starts with a survey and a fixed quote.
Hyde Park Estate: Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St John the Evangelist or anywhere around Hyde Park Estate, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Hampden Gurney CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Report grease drips, smells or fan noise straight away
You leave with a date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date is not missed.
Wipe the canopy down regularly and empty grease troughs or collection points. It will not replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Why act early?
Environmental health officers inspect food businesses, in W1H as everywhere else, and a greasy canopy or dripping filters will not go unnoticed. A clean extract is one less thing to worry about on the day.
What your quote should include
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Proof of insurance
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the figure could change on the day
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Different parts, different methods
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. Those are among the points where we take readings before and after, so the report shows the difference.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Institutional kitchens tend to cook to set hours, so cleans can be planned for holidays or quiet times. The certificate goes straight into the site’s maintenance records.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in W1H
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Grease-filled ducts can carry fire well beyond the kitchen. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Which parts of the extract do you clean?
The whole system: the canopy, the plenum behind the filters, the filters, horizontal ducts, vertical risers, the fan and the discharge, plus attenuators where fitted. Anything we cannot reach is recorded on the report.
