Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Mayfair
Ductwork in Mayfair is cleaned the same thorough way as everywhere else we work: readings at set points, heavy grease scraped out by hand, then degreasing to suit the deposit. Readings are taken again afterwards and photos go into your report. Typical jobs include gaps where access panels were never fitted and grease pooling at the foot of the riser, on vertical risers, access panels and horizontal duct runs.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Mayfair is typically done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Do you need ductwork cleaning in Mayfair?
The further the air travels from the cooking, the cooler it gets. As it cools, the grease it carries condenses onto the duct walls, which is why ducts go on gathering grease well beyond the filters.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Stale grease odours from the duct
For schools such as LITE Regal International School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Questions to ask before booking
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- What hours they’ll be on site
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
- Parts of the duct with no way in
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on in Mayfair
- Horizontal duct runs
- Attenuators
- Access panels
- Vertical risers
- Bends and junctions
- Multi-storey ducts
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
Any section of duct we couldn’t reach is listed on the report and why. We can fit access panels so those sections are cleaned next time.
Some signs mean the duct needs attention sooner: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct, and we clear up before we go. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Mayfair needs from us.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear the space around the work

Questions from Mayfair
Who is the fire and rescue service for Mayfair?
Fire safety enforcement in Mayfair is handled by London Fire Brigade. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
How do you handle parking and loading in Mayfair?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Mayfair makes the visit easier to plan. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
What happens if there are not enough access panels?
Sections out of reach are written down on the report, in line with TR19. New panels can be fitted to reach them in future.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Ductwork cleaning in Mayfair: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records list about 3,882 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 380 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Mayfair, up to about a mile and a half out. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. Kitchens in Mayfair get their food hygiene inspections from Westminster council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. In London, kitchens are normally cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier.
A kitchen near Bond Street station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like London Eye Hospital about 0.5 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
What happens if it’s left?
A fire in a greasy duct is hard to reach and hard to stop. The duct can carry it to rooms, floors or roof spaces well away from the kitchen, which is why the duct matters as much as the canopy. Choosing the date yourself beats having a fault choose it for you.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What you get with us
