Kitchen extract cleaning in Hertfordshire
Kitchen extract cleaning in Hertfordshire runs to the same TR19 and EHO-aligned standard as our central London work — adapted to the local kitchen estate. Commuter belt north of London. Village gastropubs, country hotels, suburban restaurant strips, business-park corporate catering at Hemel and Welwyn. Our Hertfordshire schedule centres on watford and bushey restaurants and the cluster of st albans cathedral-quarter dining nearby.
Why Hertfordshire kitchens need extract cleaning
Mix of country hotels, gastropubs, and business-park corporate kitchens. Multiple Hertfordshire district councils. This drives a specific approach to extract cleaning in Hertfordshire — the schedule, the chemistry, and the documentation all need to fit the local estate and the local inspection pattern.
Hertfordshire venue clusters we cover
We work across the major Hertfordshire hospitality clusters: watford and bushey restaurants; st albans cathedral-quarter dining; hemel hempstead business-park corporate catering; stevenage and hatfield town-centre dining. Borehamwood film-studio catering is a niche we cover — major studios run continuous-shift production cooking with specific TR19 cycle considerations.
Access and out-of-hours work in Hertfordshire
Out-of-hours via A1(M) and M1. Standard. For extract cleaning specifically, we usually schedule Hertfordshire work in the standard out-of-hours window — kitchens are dry and ready for morning prep.

Do you cover all of Hertfordshire? +

What does extract cleaning cost in Hertfordshire? +
£895–£2,800+ outside London · £1,195–£3,500+ in London. Hertfordshire kitchens trend toward mix of country hotels, gastropubs, and business-park corporate kitchens — we factor that into the quote at site walk.
Which EHO covers Hertfordshire? +
Multiple Hertfordshire district councils.
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.
