Ductwork cleaning in Ealing, done properly
We’ve been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and our certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you have hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs and stale grease odours from the duct, we can help.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. In Ealing, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What happens on the day
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. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we’re happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Ealing.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.

Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

Common problems we fix in Ealing
Grease filters that do not seal let fat straight through. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should and it fills faster.
What we are most often called out for:
- Duct runs that cannot be reached
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Years of grease along the duct floor
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Saviour's Church, or anywhere in Ealing, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Part by part
Attenuators and discharge
The discharge is where the duct ends and air leaves the building. It can gather grease and mark the wall or roof around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A duct that climbs several floors may be cleaned over more than one visit. Visits are planned around the building’s hours, out of hours where possible.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Ealing and across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Ealing: your questions answered
What do you need to know about parking in Ealing?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Ealing, and about any building rules on loading. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Which environmental health team covers Ealing?
Food hygiene inspections in Ealing are carried out by Ealing council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Ealing?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
When is the ductwork cleaned?
When the kitchen is closed. Larger systems may be cleaned over several nights, with the kitchen ready to cook each morning.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
How we price ductwork cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The size of the system
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- A few general shots of the system
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Ealing
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 424 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 90 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Ealing. Wherever those kitchens cook under a canopy, the horizontal runs and risers need cleaning as well as the hood. In Ealing, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Ealing council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. London jobs usually start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.
For kitchens close to Ealing Broadway station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Ealing Independent College, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
