Kitchen extract cleaning in Kensington
Kitchen extract cleaning in Kensington runs to the same TR19 and EHO-aligned standard as our central London work — adapted to the local kitchen estate. Museum quarter, embassy district, residential-luxury restaurant strip. South Kensington runs lunch-and-dinner; High Street Kensington has stronger daytime cafe trade; Holland Park has evening fine-dining. Our Kensington schedule centres on south kensington museum-quarter restaurants and cafes and the cluster of high street kensington department-store and street restaurants nearby.
Why Kensington kitchens need extract cleaning
Mixed: museum-quarter cafe kitchens (low grease, daytime peak), South Kensington restaurant kitchens (modern extract, well-managed), Holland Park converted-mews kitchens (heritage building constraints). Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea EHO. Strong scoring distribution — most venues hold 4 or 5. Embassy-district premises carry additional security clearance overhead during inspections. This drives a specific approach to extract cleaning in Kensington — the schedule, the chemistry, and the documentation all need to fit the local estate and the local inspection pattern.
Kensington venue clusters we cover
We work across the major Kensington hospitality clusters: south kensington museum-quarter restaurants and cafes; high street kensington department-store and street restaurants; holland park / kensington park road upscale residential restaurants; embassy-district private dining and consulate catering. Kensington embassy-district premises require specific security clearances and supplier registrations — we can hold these for ongoing accounts but the onboarding is longer than standard.
Access and out-of-hours work in Kensington
Service mews access via Onslow Mews, Cornwall Mews South, Eldon Road. Out-of-hours straightforward except during major museum events (V&A late nights, Natural History galas). For extract cleaning specifically, we usually schedule Kensington work in the standard out-of-hours window — kitchens are dry and ready for morning prep.

Which EHO covers Kensington? +
Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea EHO. Strong scoring distribution — most venues hold 4 or 5. Embassy-district premises carry additional security clearance overhead during inspections.
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.
