Duct cleaning in White City
Our technicians work in White City on ductwork cleaning. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports on every job.
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
Any section of duct we couldn’t reach is listed on the report and why. You can then decide whether to have access panels fitted.
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.
Ductwork cleaning in White City, done properly
Many ducts were installed with too few access doors. Where a section can’t be reached, TR19 expects it to be recorded on the report, and we can fit new access panels so it’s cleaned next time. An honest report beats a guess. Typical jobs include gaps where access panels were never fitted and thick crusts of old grease along the duct, on multi-storey ducts, access panels and attenuators.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in White City is typically done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, 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.

How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in White City is no exception.
- 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 photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear the space around the work
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.

Common questions in White City
Can parking be tricky for a job in White City?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in White City makes the visit easier to plan. If the building has a loading slot system, we’ll book into it.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in White City in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around White City, the Food Standards Agency lists about 76 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
We get into the duct through its access panels. Thick deposits are removed by hand before degreasing, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
The minimum depends on how long the kitchen cooks each day: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Measured grease sets the real interval.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Do you work in White City?
Yes. White City is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Horizontal runs carry the extract along ceilings and through voids. They collect grease as the air cools and slows, so each section is cleaned through its access panels.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Ducts in taller or shared buildings often run past other occupiers. Access is planned with the building’s managers, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
Honest limits
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- Duct sections that need replacing
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on in White City

What happens if it’s left?
Insurers know the risk of a greasy duct. Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and a claim may be refused or reduced without evidence. Your certificate and photo report show the ducts were cleaned. A building in White City may have flats or offices above and alongside, and a fault in the system can affect them too.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Kitchen extracts in White City
Look up White City on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 887 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 177 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central White City. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. London Fire Brigade covers White City. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In London, kitchens are usually cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier.
If you cook for passing trade around Shepherds Bush station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Michael and St George or anywhere around White City, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Princess Louise Hospital about 0.5 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in White City
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- How big the system is
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Managing agents and facilities teams in White City
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
