How we price ductwork cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- How easy every part is to reach
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Yiewsley
We have been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, with each certificate issued through the BESCA portal. Typical jobs include smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork and thick crusts of old grease along the duct, on multi-storey ducts, attenuators and vertical risers.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Yiewsley is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
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.

FAQs for Yiewsley
Who inspects food businesses in Yiewsley?
In Yiewsley, it’s Ealing council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you work overnight in Yiewsley?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Yiewsley keeps running as normal. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before we start.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The report shows readings, pictures and any sections we couldn’t reach.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What information do you need?
A short description and a few pictures, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Ductwork cleaning around Yiewsley
Food Standards Agency data counts about 128 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 64 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Yiewsley. Each kitchen that cooks under a canopy sends grease-laden air into a duct, where it cools and settles. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too. Environmental health officers from Ealing council inspect food businesses in Yiewsley. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
School kitchens, at schools like Brookside Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Northolt Manor is about 1.4 miles north-east), access may need planning.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct, and we clear up before we go. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Yiewsley needs from us.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
What a clean will not put right
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- Sections that can’t be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- Faulty fire dampers
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Access panels
- Horizontal duct runs
- Multi-storey ducts
- Vertical risers
- Attenuators
- Bends and junctions
Common problems we fix in Yiewsley
Many ducts do not have enough access panels. Sections between panels go uncleaned, sometimes since the system was installed, and the grease there keeps building out of sight.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Yiewsley is Hayes Cottage Hospital, about 1.5 miles south-west.

What the work involves, part by part
Access panels
After cleaning, every panel is closed and sealed, so grease and air stay inside the duct. A damaged panel is noted on the report.
Horizontal duct runs
Horizontal runs carry the extract along ceilings and through voids. Grease drops out of the slowing air along them, and we clean them section by section through access panels.
