What kitchen extract cleaning looks like in Hanger Hill
Look up Hanger Hill on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 424 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 168 takeaways in and around Hanger Hill, up to about a mile and a half out. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Hanger Hill is covered by London Fire Brigade. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Food hygiene inspections in Hanger Hill are the job of Ealing council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
A hospital like Central Middlesex Hospital, about 1 mile north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of the Ascension or elsewhere in Hanger Hill, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you cook for passing trade around Acton Main Line station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Kitchen duct cleaning in Hanger Hill
Across Hanger Hill, we clean kitchen extract systems to BESA TR19® Grease. The job starts with a survey and grease readings, then works through canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, fan and discharge. You get a TR19 certificate and a photo report at the end. If you are dealing with an overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer and heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs, we can help. When a restaurant in Hanger Hill asks for duct cleaning, it’s nearly always the kitchen extract they mean, and that is our main job: the whole run from hood to roof, cleaned to TR19® Grease.
A kitchen running fryers and chargrills all day builds up grease much faster than one that mostly steams and boils, so we look at the menu as well as the opening hours when we suggest the next date.
Kitchens in Hanger 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, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Give the canopy a daily wipe
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
- Keep to the recommended cleaning interval
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, so you can see the difference in numbers as well as photos. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing a kitchen can do. A filter that is clean and seated properly stops more grease getting into the plenum, so the ductwork stays cleaner for longer.
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Damaged duct sections that need replacing
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Hanger Hill
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
What the work involves, part by part
Ductwork and risers
Grease builds up most where the duct turns. We test at points like these before and after cleaning, so the report shows the difference.
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
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, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Parking and loading at the site
- The size of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
