Duct cleaning in Hammersmith
Need ductwork cleaning in Hammersmith? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around your hours, finishing with a written report and pictures.
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
What happens if it’s left?
A dirty duct is something insurers ask about. Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and a claim may be refused or reduced without evidence. Your certificate and photo report show the ducts were cleaned. Every month a London system goes without attention adds to what has to be done later.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
Why us?
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Every visit written up, with pictures
- Survey first, then a fixed quote

How we handle ductwork cleaning in Hammersmith
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. Flames pulled in from the cooking line can ignite it, carrying a fire along the duct and into rooms far from the kitchen. Cleaning the duct takes that fuel away. If you have hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs and duct runs with no cleaning record, we can put it right.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. In Hammersmith, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Hammersmith
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Hammersmith during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 83 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Hammersmith. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Hammersmith?
That’s London Fire Brigade. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
We clean everything we can reach and record what we can’t. Fitting extra access panels is the usual answer, and we can do that for you.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
We open each access panel and clean the section it reaches. Grease is scraped out first, then degreased, with readings taken before and after.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The report shows readings, pictures and any sections we couldn’t reach.
What affects the quote in Hammersmith
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The size of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A duct that is too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- Duct sections that need replacing
- Parts of the duct with no way in
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Hammersmith
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Check readings when the menu changes
Access panels are closed and sealed back up after cleaning, and the surrounding area is left clean. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
How the visit works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Hammersmith.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Get a fixed quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Advice
Hammersmith kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 126 pubs and bars and about 64 hotels and B&Bs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Hammersmith. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. London jobs normally start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first. Kitchens in Hammersmith get their food hygiene inspections from Hammersmith and Fulham council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Where a hall near Church of the Holy Innocents, or anywhere in Hammersmith, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Corona Theatre School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run a café or takeaway near Kensington Olympia station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
