Ductwork cleaning in Turnham Green
The ductwork is where an extract clean is won or lost. Sections with no way in can go uncleaned for years. We open up every reachable section and record any we can’t reach, so you know exactly where you stand. If you have fat dripping from the ductwork and thick crusts of old grease along the duct, we can put it right.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Turnham Green is normally done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How the job changes from site to site
Access panels
Every section of duct is cleaned through an access panel. Without them, parts of the duct cannot be reached and the report has to say so.
Bends and transitions
Transitions from the canopy spigot into the duct catch a lot of grease. We clean it from the canopy side or through a nearby panel.
How the visit 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 a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Turnham Green saves time on the night.
- 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.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and pictures repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us where we can park and unload

How we price ductwork cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The condition of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
- The times the site is available
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Turnham Green?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before any work starts.

Turnham Green kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 88 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 12 hotels and B&Bs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Turnham Green. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected. Food hygiene inspections in Turnham Green are the job of Hounslow council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St. Nicholas Church or anywhere around Turnham Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Turnham Green is Barnes Hospital, about 1.3 miles south. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as The William Hogarth Primary School or anywhere near Turnham Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Flag drips from the duct right away
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Do not switch the extract off early
The report names every part of the duct that couldn’t be reached, with the reason. We can fit access panels so those sections are cleaned next time.
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 your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
What ductwork cleaning can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Duct sections that need replacing
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
- Faulty fire dampers
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
