Kitchen extract cleaning in Heathrow
Kitchen extract cleaning in Heathrow runs to the same TR19 and EHO-aligned standard as our central London work — adapted to the local kitchen estate. Airport corridor — airline catering scale operations, large hotel kitchens running 24/7 breakfast-through-late-dinner, conference and crew dining. 24/7 service is the rule, not the exception. Our Heathrow schedule centres on bath road airport-hotel kitchen strip (sofitel, hilton, marriott, holiday inn) and the cluster of airline catering production kitchens (gate gourmet, do & co area) nearby.
Why Heathrow kitchens need extract cleaning
Production-scale: airline catering kitchens run continuous 24/7 flow; hotel kitchens run continuous breakfast-through-late-dinner cycles. Very large extract systems, often with multiple parallel runs, requiring longer TR19 cleans. London Borough of Hillingdon EHO (most of Heathrow). Aviation-catering kitchens have additional CAA-overlapping requirements. Hotel kitchens here run 12-month inspection cycles given the volume and 24/7 ops. This drives a specific approach to extract cleaning in Heathrow — the schedule, the chemistry, and the documentation all need to fit the local estate and the local inspection pattern.
Heathrow venue clusters we cover
We work across the major Heathrow hospitality clusters: bath road airport-hotel kitchen strip (sofitel, hilton, marriott, holiday inn); airline catering production kitchens (gate gourmet, do & co area); heathrow terminal 5 and terminal 2 lounge and restaurant operations; stockley park corporate dining. Heathrow airline catering work requires CAA-overlapping documentation. We assign Heathrow-cleared engineering teams to those jobs and produce a separate aviation-overlay compliance report alongside the standard TR19 certificate.
Access and out-of-hours work in Heathrow
Out-of-hours access via airport perimeter roads — security pass required for any airside or restricted-airport-side address. We hold Heathrow security clearance for our supervisor team. For extract cleaning specifically, we usually schedule Heathrow work in the standard out-of-hours window — kitchens are dry and ready for morning prep.

Out-of-hours access patterns vary by cluster; we coordinate access ahead of every visit.
What does extract cleaning cost in Heathrow? +
£895–£2,800+ outside London · £1,195–£3,500+ in London. Heathrow kitchens trend toward production-scale: airline catering kitchens run continuous 24/7 flow; hotel kitchens run continuous breakfast-through-late-dinner cycles — we factor that into the quote at site walk.
Which EHO covers Heathrow? +
London Borough of Hillingdon EHO (most of Heathrow). Aviation-catering kitchens have additional CAA-overlapping requirements. Hotel kitchens here run 12-month inspection cycles given the volume and 24/7 ops.
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.
