Managing agents and facilities teams in Ickenham
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Ickenham
A kitchen extract system is far more than the canopy you can see. 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. Typical jobs include an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19 and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction, across horizontal duct runs, canopies and hoods and discharge points. Searching for commercial kitchen extraction cleaning in Ickenham? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member.
Kitchens that fry and grill hardest need the most frequent cleans, so the interval is set by what you cook as well as how long.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Ickenham 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.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What else we do in Ickenham
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Grease, kitchens and Ickenham
Food Standards Agency data counts about 141 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 45 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Ickenham, up to about a mile and a half out. Every kitchen in that count with a canopy has a full extract system, canopy to discharge, to keep clear of grease. It’s Hillingdon council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Ickenham. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading is not affected.
A hospital like Hillingdon Hospital, about 2.3 miles south, 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 St Giles' Church or elsewhere in Ickenham, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as The Douay Martyrs Catholic School or anywhere near Ickenham, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Ickenham is about 1 mile north of Hillingdon, in Greater London. Whatever kind of site you run in Ickenham, we can take on kitchen extract cleaning. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so trading is not interrupted. Our Greater London coverage runs to 764 places, Ickenham among them. We also work in London, about 16 miles from Ickenham.
Work in UB10 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. Whether your site is on Long Lane, Court Road and The Avenue or anywhere close by, our technicians can take on the work. We also cover Hillingdon (1 mile south), Ruislip Gardens (2 miles east), New Denham (2 miles west), Newyears Green (2 miles north) and Uxbridge (2 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include City of Westminster (13 miles east), Marylebone (13 miles east), Kensington (11 miles east), St Pancras (14 miles east), Hampstead (12 miles east) and Brompton (13 miles east).
Landmarks near Ickenham
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Glebe Primary School, Church Field Gardens and Vyners School and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is West Ruislip station, roughly 0.9 miles north-east of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Hillingdon Hospital (2.3 miles south) and The Chimes (1.4 miles south-west). For a walk, there’s Northala Fields and Horse Shoe Bay.
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep the baffle filters clean
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep the TR19 certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
After cleaning, we re-test the same points we measured at the start, giving you before and after readings alongside the pictures. Your TR19 certificate is then issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Clean the grease filters often, not just on clean day. Clean, well-fitted filters catch more fat before it reaches the duct, which slows build-up further down the system.
What affects the quote in Ickenham
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The times the site is available
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The size of the system
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
If you need kitchen extract cleaning in Ickenham, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send photos or your last report if you can. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
Leave it or put it right?
TR19® is not law, but the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 is. The responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and in a kitchen that means keeping extract grease under control. Cleaning to TR19 is the recognised way to show you’ve done it. For a site in Ickenham, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

The process
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a single shift for most kitchens, with long duct runs and tall risers needing more time. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we’re happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Ickenham.
- We survey the system, from your photos or on site, canopy to discharge.
- We take grease readings at set points and give you a fixed quote.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- We work through the system from the canopy to the fan and discharge.
- Readings are repeated, pictures taken, and your TR19 certificate and photo report issued.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Ickenham: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Ickenham?
That is Hillingdon council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Ickenham. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
How do you handle parking and loading in Ickenham?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Ickenham, and about any building rules on loading. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.

Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.

That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
How often does a kitchen extract system need cleaning?
That comes down mainly to daily cooking hours. BESA’s minimums run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
Different parts, different methods
Extract fan and discharge
Grease that reaches the fan coats the blades and the housing. We isolate it, open it up and degrease it.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Grills, fryers and woks send a lot of fat into the extract, so grease readings help set the right interval.
