How we handle ductwork cleaning in Perivale
Ductwork in Perivale is cleaned the same thorough way as everywhere else we work: 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 vertical risers, access panels and bends and junctions, and people most often call us about thick crusts of old grease along the duct and thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct.
In a London area like Perivale, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What a clean won’t put right
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Ductwork cleaning in Perivale: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 174 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 120 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Perivale, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever those kitchens cook under a canopy, the horizontal runs and risers need cleaning as well as the hood. London Fire Brigade covers Perivale. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
For kitchens close to South Greenford station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

Leave it or put it right?
Old grease in a duct for a kitchen in Perivale doesn’t stay soft. Heat and age turn it into a thick, stubborn crust, which makes each delayed clean a bigger one. London sites work long hours, and the longer a job is left, the bigger it gets.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Perivale
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Perivale?
Food hygiene inspections in Perivale are carried out by Ealing council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Does London parking affect a job in Perivale?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Perivale, and about any building rules on loading. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit usually gets round them.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do we have to stop cooking while the ducts are cleaned?
Only while we are working, and we work around you. Most kitchens book overnight or weekend cleans, so no service is lost.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. It includes readings, pictures and any unreachable sections.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Perivale?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote and we will usually reply within one working day.

What we’re called out for in Perivale
Damaged or poorly fitted filters let more grease into the duct. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should and it fills faster.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Duct runs that cannot be reached
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
For schools such as St John Fisher Catholic Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of insurance
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
Risers often pass through floors and walls, so fire dampers may be fitted where it crosses them. Damper testing is a separate service.
Access panels
Panels have to seal properly once they’re closed, so grease and air stay inside the duct. We’ll tell you if any panel needs replacing.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Do not switch the extract off early
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
Keep the certificate and report with the fire risk assessment. It’s the evidence an insurer or inspector may ask for, and the pictures make the duct’s condition easy to see.
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.
What we do, step by step
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Perivale is usually out of hours.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

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 pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
