Part by part
Bends and transitions
A bend can hold far more grease than a straight run of the same length. We clean it back by hand and with degreaser, and readings are taken there before and after.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Ducts in taller or shared buildings often run past other occupiers. We plan access with you and the building manager, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
About our ductwork cleaning in Hounslow West
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 sections of duct with no access panels and hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs, across horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and access panels.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Hounslow West is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Hounslow West
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
How we price ductwork cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- What state the system is in
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- How easy every part is to reach
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
- Sections that can’t be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- Fire dampers that do not close (they need testing and remedials)
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on in Hounslow West
- Vertical risers
- Access panels
- Bends and junctions
- Attenuators
- Horizontal duct runs
- Multi-storey ducts
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Keep your cleaning records together
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.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Hounslow West is no exception.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
