How kitchen extract cleaning works in W9
Any kitchen we clean in W9 gets exactly the same specification as everywhere else we work. 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 horizontal duct runs, canopies and hoods and discharge points, and common reasons people get in touch are grease drips onto cooking equipment and ductwork thick with old, hardened grease.
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits.
- We start with a survey, so we know every part of the system before we quote.
- Grease readings are taken at set points and you get a fixed quote.
- On the day, cooking equipment is switched off and left to cool, and everything nearby is sheeted.
- Canopy, plenum, filters, duct runs, risers, fan and discharge are all cleaned to TR19® Grease.
- We test again, photograph the result and issue your TR19 certificate and photo report.

Where we work in W9
In W9, a busy kitchen in a place such as City of Westminster, Kilburn and Westbourne and a quiet village kitchen need very different cleaning intervals. Grease readings and BESA’s minimum intervals set the schedule for each.
W9 is within the area we cover, which takes in London and the South East. Each job starts with a survey and a fixed quote.
Maida Vale: Where a hall near St Peter Elgin Avenue, or anywhere in Maida Vale, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Essendine Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. A TR19 report should record what wasn’t cleaned as well as what was, and we can fit access panels so it’s reached next time.
Run the extract whenever the kitchen is cooking. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in W9
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The condition of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Problems your staff have spotted
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
What the work involves, part by part
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, and grease can collect there too. We clean it where it can be safely reached, and any limits are recorded.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
A pub or restaurant can’t afford to cancel a service for a clean. Overnight and weekend cleans keep the kitchen trading, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Common questions in W9
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Allow a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What does kitchen extract cleaning cost?
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 we start.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. 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.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
