Keeping a London Casino’s Kitchen Extraction Spotless

KDC Food Hygiene completes TR/19 kitchen extraction clean at a busy London casino, ensuring top hygiene and safety.

At KDC Food Hygiene Ltd, we understand that keeping high-traffic kitchens clean and safe requires expertise, timing, and flexibility. Our latest “KDC on the Road” adventure took us to a well-known casino in the heart of London’s West End, where we performed a rigorous kitchen extraction clean to meet TR/19 standards.

The Task: TR/19-Compliant Extraction Clean

This was a regular three-monthly deep clean of the casino's kitchen extraction system, an essential service to maintain air quality, fire safety, and hygiene standards. Following the TR/19 guidelines, we meticulously tackled every part of the extraction setup—from the canopy to the ductwork—to remove built-up grease and grime that accumulate in a busy kitchen environment.

Overcoming the Challenge: Patience and Precision

Timing was everything on this job. Casinos, unlike typical venues, often operate around the clock, with some late-night guests enjoying meals well into the early hours. Our team had to wait patiently, ready to jump into action as soon as the last guest left and the kitchen closed. Even then, the equipment needed time to cool before it could be safely handled and cleaned. We also had to ensure the extraction system was fully isolated before starting.

Once we got the green light, the real work began. Using scrapers, a pole system, industrial degreasers, and a dip tank for grease filters, we attacked the built-up grease. The dip tank treatment helped restore the filters, while the scrapers and pole system were essential for reaching tough spots within the canopy and ductwork.

Tools of the Trade

For this job, we relied on our tried-and-true tools—scrapers, a pole system for hard-to-reach areas, powerful degreasers, and a dip tank specifically for soaking grease filters. These tools ensure we meet the highest standards of cleanliness and leave no area overlooked.

A Loyal Partnership with the Client

We’ve been working with this casino for years, maintaining their kitchen extraction system with thorough cleans that keep it operating safely and efficiently. The client’s trust in us speaks to the consistency and quality of our work.

Results That Shine

With the job complete, the canopy and extraction system were gleaming, ready for the next wave of diners. Every surface sparkled, the air flow improved, and the risk of fire hazards from grease build-up was dramatically reduced. It’s a result we’re proud of and a testament to the dedication of our team.
