Ductwork cleaning in Brook Green
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? A few details about the system are a good start when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll give you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, typically within one working day. If you’re dealing with a rancid smell from the extract duct and duct runs with no cleaning record, we can help.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Brook Green is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What the work involves, part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Ducts in taller or shared buildings often run past other occupiers. Access is planned with the building’s managers, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
Attenuators and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, quieten the extract, but they can hold grease in their linings. They’re cleaned where possible and recorded if not.
Kitchen extracts in Brook Green
Food Standards Agency data counts about 982 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 142 sandwich bars and takeaways across Brook Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each kitchen that cooks under a canopy sends grease-laden air into a duct, where it cools and settles. Kitchens in Brook Green get their food hygiene inspections from Hammersmith and Fulham council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. In London, kitchens are normally cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of Saint Mary, or anywhere in Brook Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you cook for passing trade around Kensington Olympia station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

What’s near Brook Green
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Queen's Head pub, Sacred Heart High School and Polish Library POSK in London, among other places. Also close by are Corona Theatre School (0.6 miles west) and St Paul's Gardens (less than half a mile south-east).

What we’re called out for in Brook Green
A vertical riser can run up several floors. Grease clings to the walls and can run down to the base, where it can pool. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- Sections of duct with no access panels
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like West London Hospital about under half a mile south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What else we do in Brook Green
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Most London sites can’t stop for the day, so work in Brook Green is normally done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Brook Green questions
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Brook Green in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Brook Green, the Food Standards Agency lists about 87 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Which fire service covers Brook Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Brook Green is handled by London Fire Brigade. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
Drips, smells and weak extraction are clues, but the only sure way is to measure. Grease thickness testing shows exactly where the duct stands.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
BESA guidance sets minimum intervals by daily cooking hours: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings may show it needs doing sooner.
Will the duct clean disrupt the kitchen?
Out of hours, at a time that suits the kitchen. Long ducts can be split across visits, with the kitchen ready to cook each morning.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Brook Green
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition we find in the survey
- How many systems or sites are involved
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
