When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by kitchen extract cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Faulty fire dampers in the duct
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Greenford
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract systems since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. Typical jobs include grease smells coming from the extract and extraction mentioned at an environmental health visit, on canopies and hoods, discharge points and horizontal duct runs. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Greenford usually mean the kitchen extract, and that’s exactly what we do: canopy to fan, to TR19® Grease.
What can be cleaned depends on what can be reached. Where a duct run has no panels, we say so on the report and can fit new ones.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. In Greenford, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Part by part
Restaurant and pub kitchens
A pub or restaurant cannot afford to cancel a service for a clean. We work overnight and at weekends where that suits, and hand back a clean kitchen ready to cook.
Grease filters
We clean the grease filters as part of the job, and put back so they seat correctly. We’ll tell you if any need replacing.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Greenford
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Fixed quotes for kitchen extract cleaning in Greenford
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site rules, permits and inductions
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- A few general shots of the system
- The postcode and the type of business
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Greenford.

Some systems can be priced from pictures; 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 work begins.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
When the clean is finished, grease readings are taken again at the same points, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that’s clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, which slows build-up further down the system.
Do you need kitchen extract cleaning in Greenford?
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Fryers, grills and open flames throw much more fat into the extract than gentler cooking, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Grease smells coming from the extract
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Poor airflow at the canopy
For schools such as Oldfield Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Greenford: your questions answered
Can a school canteen extract in Greenford be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 53 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Greenford. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which fire service covers Greenford?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Greenford. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
How long does it take to clean a kitchen extract system?
Length of duct, grease levels and access all affect it. As a guide, it takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Kitchen extracts in Greenford
Food Standards Agency records include about 24 bars, pubs and nightclubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Greenford. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Greenford sits within the area of 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. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
A kitchen near Greenford station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Clementine Churchill Hospital (about 2 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
