Greater London · Ductwork cleaning
Yeading ductwork cleaning
Professional ductwork cleaning in and around Yeading, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and pictures.
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Stale grease odours from the duct
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It records the date, the location and the technician.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
Ductwork cleaning in Yeading, done properly
Each extract duct we take on in Yeading goes through the full routine: we test the grease first, remove thick deposits by hand and degrease what’s left. Post-clean readings and photos complete the record. If you are dealing with proof of duct cleaning for the insurer and grease leaking from duct joints, we can help, from multi-storey ducts, attenuators and vertical risers onwards.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. In Yeading, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Kitchen extracts in Yeading
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 18 pubs, bars and clubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Yeading. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Ealing council inspect food businesses in Yeading. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. In London, kitchens are usually cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier.
School kitchens, at schools like Brookside Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Joseph the Worker & Dovetail Centre or elsewhere in Yeading, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Hayes Cottage Hospital (about 1.5 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Yeading is about 2 miles north-east of Hayes, in Greater London. Yeading gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with photos. Yeading is one of 764 places in Greater London where we work for ductwork cleaning. We also work in London, around 13 miles away.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Yeading
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of 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.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Yeading.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- 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.
- Post-clean readings and pictures go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Move anything stored near the system

Why deal with it now?
TR19® isn’t law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. The Fire Safety Order 2005 makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. London sites work long hours, and the longer a job is left, the bigger it gets.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll explain what it covers.

What ductwork cleaning can’t fix
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what ductwork cleaning won’t do:
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Yeading: your questions answered
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Yeading in the summer holidays?

Which fire authority looks after Yeading?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Yeading. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you work in Yeading?
Yes. Yeading is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?
BESA guidance sets minimum intervals by daily cooking hours: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings may show it needs doing sooner.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, extra panels can be fitted. It means more of the duct can be cleaned next time, and the report will show where they’re needed.
What accreditations do you have?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.

What else we do in Yeading
How we price ductwork cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy every part is to reach
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
Part by part
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.
Vertical risers
A riser takes the duct up through one or more floors. Grease runs down the walls and gathers at the base, so the base is one of our test points.
