How we handle ductwork cleaning in Heathrow
Each extract duct we take on in Heathrow goes through the full routine: we test the grease first, remove thick deposits by hand and degrease what’s left. Readings are taken again afterwards and pictures go into your report. The work covers bends and junctions, attenuators and horizontal duct runs, and people most often call us about grease seeping out of the duct seams and stale grease odours from the duct.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Heathrow and turn up when the site is quiet.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

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
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
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. Leave those to us.
What affects the quote in Heathrow
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The number of sites or systems
- The times the site is available
- The scale of the work
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
For ductwork cleaning in Heathrow, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
Why act early in Heathrow
Booking the duct clean in Heathrow now keeps it a planned job. The work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access, done out of hours so the kitchen keeps cooking. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Heathrow rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.

What the work involves, part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Long ducts in larger buildings can mean several visits. We agree a sequence that suits the building, out of hours where possible.
Attenuators and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, quieten the extract, and their linings can soak up grease. They’re cleaned where possible and recorded if not.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Keep to the interval on the report
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It shows when and where the clean was done and by whom.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
Heathrow kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 14 pubs and bars and about 17 hotels and B&Bs registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Heathrow. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Heathrow. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Food hygiene inspections in Heathrow are the job of Hillingdon council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run a café or takeaway near Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3 Rail station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Osterley House is about 4.6 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Heathrow
Grease settles fastest where the air slows down. Flat runs, bends, reducers and the base of risers are the usual hotspots, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Bedfont Primary School or anywhere near Heathrow, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Questions from Heathrow
Will you come out to Heathrow?
Yes. Heathrow is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Heathrow?
That’s Hillingdon council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Heathrow. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
Ductwork needs access to be cleaned. We record those sections on the report and can fit access panels.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, you get a TR19 certificate and a photo report. It includes readings, pictures and any unreachable sections.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
After a survey and grease readings, the duct is opened up through its access panels. Each run and riser is scraped and degreased, then the readings are repeated.
