What ductwork cleaning can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
- Fire dampers that do not close (they need testing and remedials)
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.

How we handle ductwork cleaning in Gunnersbury
In doctor’s terms, the ductwork is the system’s arteries: diagnose where grease has built up, clear it and confirm the result. Grease readings before and after give you the evidence, alongside before and after pictures. The work covers vertical risers, bends and junctions and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are thick crusts of old grease along the duct and sections of duct with no access panels.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Gunnersbury is usually done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections cannot be reached
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
Any section of duct we couldn’t reach is listed on the report, with the reason. You can then decide whether to have access panels fitted.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Gunnersbury
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
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 need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Before any visit in Gunnersbury, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- Post-clean readings and photos go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us where we can park and unload
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.

Different parts, different methods
Attenuators and discharge
At the end of the duct is the discharge. 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
In a building with several floors, the duct may pass other tenants’ spaces. Access is planned with the building’s managers, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Gunnersbury
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Gunnersbury?
Gunnersbury is in the area of London Fire Brigade. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
How do you handle parking and loading in Gunnersbury?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Gunnersbury, and about any building rules on loading. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes. The survey or clean shows where sections couldn’t be reached, and fitting them means future cleans are more complete.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
Readings, photos and, for a full clean, a TR19 certificate. The report says when the next clean is due.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Gunnersbury
The FSA’s data shows about 71 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 10 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Gunnersbury. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Gunnersbury is covered by London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Gunnersbury get their food hygiene inspections from Hounslow council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Michael's Church or elsewhere in Gunnersbury, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. A hospital like Barnes Hospital, about 2 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. A kitchen near Gunnersbury station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
Gunnersbury is about 1 mile south of Acton, in Greater London.
