Gordon Hill kitchen extract cleaning
Kitchen extract cleaning across Gordon Hill and nearby, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and photos.
- A kitchen taken over without any extract records
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The scale of the work
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Gordon Hill
The canopy over the range is only the start of a kitchen extract system. Behind it sit the plenum and grease filters, then the ductwork, risers, extract fan and discharge, and each part collects grease. Our clean follows the air from canopy to discharge, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. If you’re dealing with fat running down the canopy edge and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19, we can put it right, from extract fans, plenums and filters and vertical risers onwards. Some call it canopy cleaning, others extract cleaning or duct cleaning, but a proper TR19® clean in Gordon Hill covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
The fire risk in a kitchen extract sits in the parts nobody sees: the plenum, the duct and the fan, which is why a TR19® clean in Gordon Hill goes well beyond the canopy.
Kitchens in Gordon Hill, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Why it’s worth doing now in Gordon Hill
If your kitchen in Gordon Hill is past its cleaning date, it’s worth booking now. It takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system, and we fit around your opening hours. Every extra month adds grease. A busy site in Gordon Hill builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.

Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Gordon Hill
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so nobody could get to them. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- Missing paperwork after a change of operator
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
School kitchens, at schools like St Michael's CofE Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether a survey comes first
- What insurance they carry
Gordon Hill: your questions answered
Which fire authority looks after Gordon Hill?
Fire safety enforcement in Gordon Hill is handled by London Fire Brigade. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Gordon Hill during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 36 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Gordon Hill. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
When do you clean the extract?
Out of hours: evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. We need the equipment cool, and we leave the kitchen ready to cook.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we will survey first.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Do I have to clean my extract to TR19 by law?
Strictly, the legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, not from TR19. In practice, TR19 is how kitchens show they’re managing grease, and many insurers ask for proof of it.
What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Gordon Hill saves time on the night.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, photos taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean the grease filters regularly between TR19 cleans
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Keep grease collection points emptied
Every clean ends with a photo report. Before and after pictures show each part of the system, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Switching it off early leaves vapour to settle on the canopy and plenum, and the next clean has more to do.
What kitchen extract cleaning cannot fix
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- An undersized canopy or fan
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- A grease trap that needs emptying
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on in Gordon Hill

What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
