The kitchen is the hardest room to refurbish, so it gets left.
We work alongside your contractors and suppliers. We survey, we audit, and we write down what is still outstanding. In a hotel kitchen, that list usually starts with the extract.
Extraction, ductwork and the TR19 question
TR19 is the industry specification for cleaning kitchen extract ductwork. If nobody can show you when the duct was last cleaned, that is the first question to answer.
Stainless, cold rooms and floors
Stainless worktops and wall cladding. Cold room doors, seals and floors. Kitchen floors that drain and do not crack.
Working around service
The kitchen has to cook tonight. We work in sections, between services, or across a short planned closure, and we agree it with the head chef first.
What the chef will tell you if anyone asks
The head chef and the kitchen team know which door does not close, which drain backs up and which extract fan has been noisy for a year. We start with them.
Standards we work to
BESA TR19 Grease for cleaning kitchen extract ductwork, DW/172 for kitchen ventilation, BS EN 16282 for commercial kitchen ventilation components, and BS 6173 for gas safety interlocks on catering equipment. Any gas work is carried out by Gas Safe registered engineers, as the law requires.
What you receive
A TR19 post-clean report with before and after photographs and grease deposit readings, a schedule of access panels, and a programme built around service so the kitchen keeps cooking.
Compliance and insurance implications
Extract cleaning, fire suppression and gas safety records matter to your insurer. We tell you what is missing from the file. The restaurant in front of the kitchen is often next; read about restaurants and bars.
Have the chef show us round. Trading through it or closed for works, the choice is yours. See all our service lines, book the gap report, or call us.
