Moor Park ductwork cleaning

Ductwork cleaning in Moor Park, done properly
If the ducts in Moor Park haven’t been cleaned for a while, or nobody is sure when they were? A few details about the system are a good start when you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and a fixed price will follow, normally within one working day. The work covers bends and junctions, multi-storey ducts and access panels, and the jobs we see most are hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs and a duct nobody has opened in years.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Moor Park is usually done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Why it’s worth doing now in Moor Park
Dealing with the ductwork in Moor Park now beats dealing with it after a problem. The work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers, done out of hours so the kitchen keeps cooking. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Parts of the duct with no way in
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Access panels
- Vertical risers
- Bends and junctions
- Multi-storey ducts
- Horizontal duct runs
- Attenuators
Between visits
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
The report gives a recommended next clean date, based on the readings and your daily cooking hours, in line with BESA guidance.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: grease leaking from duct joints, smells, or a fan that sounds rough. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.
What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the ductwork cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Most London sites can’t stop for the day, so work in Moor Park is typically done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- We test again, take photos and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Moor Park
Slow air leaves the most grease behind. Flat runs, bends, reducers and the base of risers are the usual hotspots, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Years of grease along the duct floor
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Mount Vernon Hospital about 0.7 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The scale of the work
- What state the system is in
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Any permits to work or inductions
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
FAQs for Moor Park
Which council inspects kitchens in Moor Park?
In Moor Park, it’s Hillingdon council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
How do you handle parking and loading in Moor Park?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
BESA guidance sets minimum intervals by daily cooking hours: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate and 12-monthly for light use. Measured grease sets the real interval.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Moor Park kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 8 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Moor Park. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. In London, kitchens are usually cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier. Food hygiene inspections in Moor Park are the job of Hillingdon council’s environmental health team. 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.
School kitchens, at schools like St Martins School Northwood for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Moor Park (Headstone Manor is about 3.9 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.
