Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Wembley
In doctor’s terms, the ductwork is the system’s arteries: diagnose where grease has built up, clear it and confirm the result. Grease readings before and after give you the evidence, alongside before and after photos. The work covers vertical risers, multi-storey ducts and access panels, and people most often call us about an insurer asking for TR19 evidence and a duct nobody has opened in years.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Wembley is normally done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Part by part
Attenuators and discharge
Near the discharge, the air has cooled the most, which can mean heavier deposits. We include it in the clean and the readings.
Horizontal duct runs
Long horizontal runs need access panels at regular intervals. Where the gaps between panels are too long, we record what couldn’t be reached and can fit extra panels.
The process
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 shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Wembley needs from us.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and pictures repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
Advice

- A worn-out fan that needs replacing

Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Wembley
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The times the site is available
- How big the system is
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The number of sites or systems
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Then call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Wembley: your questions answered
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Wembley?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Wembley. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you come to Wembley after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Wembley keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, we install duct access panels. We place them where they help most, and we will recommend where.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Wembley?
Wherever the kitchen is, in Wembley or elsewhere, the duct fills in the same way: hours of cooking, the type of food and how well the filters are kept. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily use.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
Where a hall near St Augustine, or anywhere in Wembley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Before booking anyone
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Wembley kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 23 pubs and bars and about 8 hotels and guest houses as registered food businesses in Wembley and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. 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. Fire safety in Wembley falls to London Fire Brigade. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
For schools such as Wembley Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Commuter trade near North Wembley station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
