About our ductwork cleaning in Brentford End
Each extract duct we take on in Brentford End goes through the full routine: we test the grease first, remove thick deposits by hand and degrease what’s left. Readings are taken again afterwards and photos go into your report. If you are dealing with stale grease odours from the duct and fat dripping from the ductwork, we can put it right, from horizontal duct runs, multi-storey ducts and vertical risers onwards.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. For a kitchen in Brentford End, that typically means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. In Brentford End, as across London, we normally work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
There’s no law that names TR19. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the duct is part of that. In Brentford End, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.

- Ductwork that has never been cleaned

Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building to the roof. Grease runs down the walls and gathers at the base, which is one of the points we test.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a shared building, the duct links the kitchen to other spaces, which makes keeping it clean all the more important. Your certificate and report give building managers the record they need.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
FAQs for Brentford End
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Brentford End?
That is Hounslow council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Brentford End. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Brentford End out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 41 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Brentford End, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will typically reply within one working day.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, we fit access panels where the duct needs them. It means more of the duct can be cleaned next time, and the report will show where they’re needed.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we usually come back within one working day. If photos are not enough, we’ll survey first.

What ductwork cleaning looks like in Brentford End
The FSA’s data shows about 47 pubs and bars and about 9 hotels and guest houses registered in and around Brentford End, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. London Fire Brigade covers Brentford End. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too.
A kitchen near Syon Lane station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Brentford End is West Middlesex University Hospital, about 0.6 miles south-west.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Leave a way through to the access panels
Keep the certificate and report with the fire risk assessment. It’s the evidence an insurer or inspector may ask for, and the pictures make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Some signs mean the duct needs attention sooner: grease leaking from duct joints, smells, or a fan that sounds rough. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- Sections that can’t be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
