Kitchen extract cleaning in Westminster
Kitchen extract cleaning in Westminster runs to the same TR19 and EHO-aligned standard as our central London work — adapted to the local kitchen estate. Whitehall-adjacent fine-dining, St James's members' clubs, government-quarter hotels and the parliamentary estate. The most establishment-luxury hospitality stretch in London — and the most documentation-sensitive. Our Westminster schedule centres on st james's members' clubs (pall mall, king street) and the cluster of whitehall fine-dining and political-class restaurants nearby.
Why Westminster kitchens need extract cleaning
Heritage-building kitchens in listed townhouses — small, vertical, awkward extract runs. Members' clubs operate kitchens running 6am to midnight for breakfast through to late dinner. Westminster City Council EHO runs higher-than-average inspection frequency, particularly for venues with elected-politician clientele. Strict on documentary trails — probe-thermometer logs and cleaning-schedule evidence are checked at every visit. This drives a specific approach to extract cleaning in Westminster — the schedule, the chemistry, and the documentation all need to fit the local estate and the local inspection pattern.
Westminster venue clusters we cover
We work across the major Westminster hospitality clusters: st james's members' clubs (pall mall, king street); whitehall fine-dining and political-class restaurants; buckingham palace road and victoria mid-market hotel cluster; pimlico independent restaurants and gastropubs. Westminster fine-dining clients prioritise discretion and documentation equally. Expect to be asked for liability insurance certificates, RTW records and Level 2 Food Safety evidence before first booking.
Access and out-of-hours work in Westminster
Service entrances usually off mews lanes (Crown Passage, Apple Tree Yard, Wilbraham Place patterns). Out-of-hours access well established — most Westminster venues have nominated service contractors and we hold accounts with the major property managers. For extract cleaning specifically, we usually schedule Westminster work in the standard out-of-hours window — kitchens are dry and ready for morning prep.

Extract cleaning in Westminster — questions
Do you cover all of Westminster? +

What does extract cleaning cost in Westminster? +
£895–£2,800+ outside London · £1,195–£3,500+ in London. Westminster kitchens trend toward heritage-building kitchens in listed townhouses — small, vertical, awkward extract runs — we factor that into the quote at site walk.
Which EHO covers Westminster? +
Westminster City Council EHO runs higher-than-average inspection frequency, particularly for venues with elected-politician clientele. Strict on documentary trails — probe-thermometer logs and cleaning-schedule evidence are checked at every visit.
How is extract cleaning different from canopy cleaning? +
Canopy cleaning covers the visible hood and baffle filters only. Extract cleaning covers the whole system — canopy plus ductwork plus fan. Insurers require the full system cleaned to TR19 specification, not just the canopy.
How often should the extract system be cleaned? +
BESA TR19 sets frequency by usage: heavy use (12+ hours/day) — every 3 months; moderate (6–12 hours/day) — every 6 months; light (<6 hours/day) — every 12 months.
What is a wet film thickness reading? +
A WFT gauge measures the depth of grease residue on the duct interior in microns. TR19 sets thresholds: below 200μm is acceptable; above is non-compliant. We measure before and after and include both in your report.
