How we handle ductwork cleaning in Hanger Hill
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. Flames pulled in from the cooking line can ignite it, and fire can then run along the ductwork to other parts of the building. Removing it is the whole point. If you have ductwork that has never been cleaned and heavy grease at the base of a riser, we can help, from multi-storey ducts, horizontal duct runs and attenuators onwards.
Kitchens in Hanger Hill, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Hanger Hill
Ducts in Hanger Hill gather grease for the same reasons as ducts anywhere: daily cooking hours, the menu and the state of the filters. Under BESA guidance, the minimum interval is 3, 6 or 12 months, by daily cooking hours.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Central Middlesex Hospital is the nearest hospital to Hanger Hill, about 1 mile north-east.
What your quote should include

FAQs for Hanger Hill
Who is the fire and rescue service for Hanger Hill?
Hanger Hill is in the area of London Fire Brigade. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Which council inspects kitchens in Hanger Hill?
Kitchens in Hanger Hill are inspected by Ealing council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
The date on the last certificate is the first thing to check. No record, or a passed date, means it’s due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
Through access panels along the duct. Heavy grease is scraped out by hand, then the surfaces are degreased with a method that suits the deposit, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Hanger Hill
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Parking and loading at the site
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The size of the system
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. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
- A few general shots of the system
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. In a London area like Hanger Hill, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- 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.
- Readings and photos are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.

Why act early in Hanger Hill

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections can’t be reached
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Run the extract fan throughout service
After the clean, the same points are tested again, so the report shows the before and after figures. Photos of each section go alongside them.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. It doesn’t stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Hanger Hill
The Food Standards Agency lists about 64 pubs, bars and clubs and about 8 hotels and B&Bs as registered food businesses across Hanger Hill and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. The fire and rescue service for Hanger Hill is London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Hanger Hill, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Ealing council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of the Ascension or elsewhere in Hanger Hill, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Holy Family Catholic Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
