Kitchen extract cleaning in Hayes, done properly
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract systems since 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. If you have an extract that no longer clears the smoke and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, we can help. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Hayes? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
We clean every reachable part of the system in Hayes: canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
In a London area like Hayes, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. 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.

What affects the quote in Hayes
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The scale of the work
- Any permits to work or inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- A few general shots of the system
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Hayes
Cooking fat leaves the pan as a fine vapour. Once it cools inside the ductwork, it condenses onto every surface it touches, and the layer grows a little with every meal cooked. Filters catch some of it, but never all.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- A system with no record of a TR19 clean
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Hayes (Northolt Manor is about 3 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.
What to look for in a quote
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the quote shows VAT
Why it’s worth doing now in Hayes
Leaving the clean until the next refit doesn’t make the grease go away. Fat that was soft and easy to remove hardens with heat and time, which is slower to clean. Regular cleans keep each visit shorter. In a London building, a problem in a duct, damper or fan rarely stays in one unit.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Hayes: your questions answered
Can you come to Hayes after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Hayes keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Does London parking affect a job in Hayes?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Hayes, and about any building rules on loading. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
Do you clean the whole extract system or just the canopy?
Every part the air passes through, as far as access allows. Sections with no access are listed on the report, and extra panels can be fitted.
Do you work in Hayes?
Yes. We cover Hayes and the rest of Greater London, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What do I get after the clean?
You get both a certificate and a photo report. Keep them in the maintenance log with the fire risk assessment so they’re to hand when an insurer asks.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Kitchen extract cleaning around Hayes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 170 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 83 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hayes. Those that fry, grill or roast under a canopy need their extracts cleaned at intervals set by how long they cook. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service. Kitchens in Hayes get their food hygiene inspections from Hillingdon council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run a café or takeaway near Hayes & Harlington station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Hayes, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Keep grease collection points emptied
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep the baffle filters clean
You leave with a date for the next clean, based on your cooking hours and the grease we measured. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date isn’t missed.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Hayes is usually out of hours.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- We record grease levels at set points, then fix the price.
- We arrive after close, protect the area and contain the waste.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
