Commercial Kitchen Extraction Cleaning Soho

Commercial Kitchen Extraction Cleaning in Soho

If you run a restaurant, takeaway, hotel kitchen or care home kitchen in Soho, your extraction system is one of the biggest fire-risk points in the building, and one of the most heavily checked during EHO and insurance inspections. ProVent Kitchen LTD provides full TR19 (Grease, 2nd Edition) compliant extraction cleaning across Soho, covering every stage of the system: canopy, filters, ductwork, risers and extraction fans. Our engineers work to BESA specification, document every stage with photo evidence, and issue a TR19 clean certificate on completion, giving you the paperwork your insurer, landlord and Environmental Health Officer will ask for.

We've worked across Soho's dense hospitality environment, from small Chinatown kitchens with restricted access to larger hotel and venue kitchens, and understand the borough's specific access restrictions (pedestrianized zones on Old Compton Street, Dean Street and the Chinatown grid, and Westminster City Council's inspection patterns). That means we plan cleans around your service hours, not the other way round.

What's Included in a Full Extraction System Clean

1 Canopy and filter degreasing — full internal and external clean of canopy surfaces, grease filters and plenum

2 Ductwork cleaning — mechanical grease removal from the entire extract duct run, including inaccessible sections via inspection hatches

3 Extraction fan cleaning — motor, impeller and casing degreased and checked for airflow performance

4 Riser cleaning — vertical duct sections cleaned where grease commonly builds up unseen

5 Inspection hatch fitting — installed where required so future cleans and inspections meet TR19 access standards

6 Fire damper checks — visual inspection as part of the extract run where fitted

7 Before-and-after photo evidence — documented at every access point for your compliance file

8 TR19 clean certificate — issued on completion, valid for insurance, lease and EHO purposes

Why This Clean Matters

Grease in kitchen ductwork is a recognized fire hazard — the London Fire Brigade has specifically warned that <cite index="9-1">dirty ducting in extraction systems increases the risk of ducting fires</cite>. TR19 sets out the accepted UK standard for how commercial kitchen extract systems should be cleaned, inspected and certified, and most commercial insurance policies now require evidence of a compliant clean to remain valid.
