Kitchen extract cleaning in Digbeth
Kitchen extract cleaning in Digbeth runs to the same TR19 and EHO-aligned standard as our central London work — adapted to the local kitchen estate. Birmingham's creative-quarter restaurant belt — converted-industrial independent restaurants, late-night casual, music-venue food. Our Digbeth schedule centres on custard factory restaurant cluster and the cluster of digbeth dining club street-food collective nearby.
Why Digbeth kitchens need extract cleaning
Converted-industrial kitchens. Small footprints, often shared extract on multi-tenant sites. Birmingham City Council EHO. Active around Digbeth given the density and turnover of operators. This drives a specific approach to extract cleaning in Digbeth — the schedule, the chemistry, and the documentation all need to fit the local estate and the local inspection pattern.

Which EHO covers Digbeth? +
Birmingham City Council EHO. Active around Digbeth given the density and turnover of operators.
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.
