Ductwork cleaning in Hatton, done properly
The ductwork is where an extract clean is won or lost. Sections with no way in can go uncleaned for years. Each section we can reach is cleaned, and any we cannot is written down, so you know exactly where you stand. Common call-outs are for a duct clean needed for an insurer and hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs, across attenuators, multi-storey ducts and horizontal duct runs.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Hatton is normally done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Hatton: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in Hatton?
Kitchens in Hatton are inspected by Hounslow 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.
Can a school canteen extract in Hatton be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Hatton, the Food Standards Agency lists about 13 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will fit the work in.
What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?
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. Measured grease sets the real interval.
How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?
The date on the last certificate is the first thing to check. If it’s overdue, or there is not one, a clean is due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
Is Hatton in your area?
Yes. We cover Hatton and across Greater London, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, we do. The survey or clean shows where sections couldn’t be reached, and fitting them means future cleans are more complete.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we normally come back within one working day. If photos are not enough, we’ll survey first.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
What we do, step by step
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. In a London area like Hatton, 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.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- Readings and pictures are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote
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, you get a fixed price before work begins.

What affects the quote in Hatton
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any previous report or certificate
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Kitchen extracts in Hatton
Look up Hatton on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 113 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 47 takeaways in Hatton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. The duct above a busy canopy coats itself in grease long before anyone sees it. In Hatton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Hounslow council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Hatton falls to London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Cranford Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Where a hall near The Parish Church of the Good Shepherd, or anywhere in Hatton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Leave it or put it right?
Insurers know the risk of a greasy duct. Many require cleaning to TR19, and they can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A certificate that covers the ductwork is what they want to see. In Hatton, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, so the report shows the before and after figures. Photos of each section go alongside them.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: grease leaking from duct joints, smells, or a fan that sounds rough. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Hatton
A greasy duct is a fire path, in Hatton as anywhere. Burning grease can carry fire through the ductwork to other rooms or floors, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
A hospital like Harlington, about 1.9 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What paperwork you get at the end
When something else is needed
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what ductwork cleaning will not do:
- Sections that can’t be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What the work covers

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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 is where we come in.
