There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The scale of the work
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What to send for a quote

About our TR19 inspection in Clare Market
TR19® Grease says grease should not exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, while a reading of 500 microns or more anywhere calls for immediate spot cleaning. Testing is how you know where your system stands. We’re often asked to deal with parts of the system left out of past cleans and confirming a clean reached the whole system, across wet film thickness tests, insurer audits and pre-clean surveys.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Clare Market is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Clare Market questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Clare Market?
The local authority for Clare Market is Westminster council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Clare Market in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 85 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Clare Market. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will fit the work in.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
Why survey before a clean?
We check the layout, the grease levels and the access, so the clean goes to plan. Missing access panels are noted so they can be sorted first.
Can you verify a clean after it’s been done?
It’s an inspection after cleaning, to show what state the system was left in, whoever did the clean.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
How often should a kitchen extract be inspected?
Each report recommends when to test and clean next, based on the readings and how the kitchen is used. The interval should come from a competent person’s risk assessment backed by grease measurement.

Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Report grease dripping from the canopy
- Keep the route to access panels clear
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted properly
- Book the next test on the date in the report
After post-clean verification, file the results with the cleaning certificate. The pair gives a clear record of the clean and the check.
Revisit the cleaning interval whenever the menu or hours change. A quick grease test answers the question.
What we are called out for in Clare Market
Records can go missing when a business changes hands or contractors. With no history, the current state of the extract is a guess.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Insurers asking for TR19 evidence
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Extracts that may be over the 200 micron mean
- Cleaning intervals that may not suit the kitchen
A hospital like St Philip's Hospital, about within half a mile north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Before booking anyone
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
Sections without access are recorded so panels can be added.
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Inspections are planned around mealtimes and holidays so meals aren’t affected.
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a couple of hours for a typical kitchen extract system. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Clare Market is no exception.
- Post-clean verification is booked once the clean is done.
- We open the access points used on the clean.
- We repeat the WFTT or DTT readings.
- We photograph each area to record how it was left.
- We report the findings and flag any areas that need more work.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us where we can park and unload

What TR19 inspection looks like in Clare Market
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 501 pubs, bars and clubs and about 233 hotels and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Clare Market. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. The fire and rescue service for Clare Market is London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Clare Market, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Westminster council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Enon Chapel or elsewhere in Clare Market, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Commuter trade near London Charing Cross station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.
