Why St Albans kitchens need scheduled extract cleaning

Every commercial kitchen in St Albans builds up a film of atomised fat inside its extraction system within weeks of a deep clean.

Our St Albans teams strip canopies, degrease baffle filters, clean accessible duct runs and service extract fans, then measure the result against TR/19 Grease surface-deposit limits.

Every job in St Albans ends with a TR/19 Grease compliance certificate, deposit readings and a schematic marking any access panels we recommend installing.

Our Hertfordshire base gives St Albans operators 5 directly employed engineers, which matters when your only cleaning window is between the last cover and the breakfast prep.

St Albans population approx. 88,000 — one of the UK's most populated areas, served from our Hertfordshire base.

Heavy-use kitchens in St Albans — high-volume frying, charcoal grills, wok ranges — usually need quarterly cleaning. Moderate use is six-monthly and light use annual.

Fixed written quotes for St Albans sites from £320, priced by canopy length and duct run rather than hourly rates.

Average from 51 verified kitchen extract jobs in and around St Albans

Quoted a fixed price after a free survey, no hourly creep, and they worked around our closed day so we lost no covers. Honest about what needed doing and what did not.

Filters came back looking new, the plenum was spotless and the kitchen was left cleaner than they found it. Now on a six-monthly schedule. Paperwork was exactly what our broker wanted.

Our extract fan had almost stopped pulling and the kitchen was filling with smoke every service. They cleaned the impeller and housing, checked the airflow, and it is like a different kitchen. Whole team was tidy and professional.

FAQs

Extractor fan cleaning in St Albans — your questions

Is duct cleaning a legal requirement in St Albans?

Fire safety law requires you to manage grease build-up, and most insurers write TR/19 Grease compliance into your policy. In practice, Hertfordshire environmental health teams and your insurer both expect documented cleaning for any St Albans kitchen with a commercial extract system.

What happens if my ductwork has no access panels?

We survey the St Albans system, clean everything reachable, and quote separately for fitting compliant access hatches so the whole run can be certified next time.

Do you clean the extract fan itself?

Yes — impeller, housing, motor casing and discharge are all stripped, degreased and rebalanced where needed. A clogged impeller is the usual reason a St Albans kitchen feels smoky.

Are your engineers insured and vetted?

All 5 engineers covering St Albans are directly employed, DBS-checked where required, IPAF/PASMA trained for work at height and covered by £10m public liability.
