What affects the cost of kitchen extract cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The scale of the work
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- A few general shots of the system
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Notting Hill, done properly
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. A TR19® Grease clean deals with the whole route, not only the parts on show. Common call-outs are for a system with no record of a TR19 clean and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction, across plenums and filters, canopies and hoods and discharge points. Need a TR19 duct cleaning contractor for Notting Hill? Duct Doctor has covered London and the South East since 2009, with a certificate and photo report after every clean.
Most kitchens in Notting Hill fall into one of BESA’s three bands: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate use and yearly for light use, adjusted by what the grease readings show.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Notting Hill is typically done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Notting Hill
Can you come to Notting Hill after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Notting Hill doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Does London parking affect a job in Notting Hill?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit normally gets round them.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
A TR19 certificate and a photo report. Certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, and the report shows before and after photos, readings, any areas not reached and the next clean date.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
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 normally follows within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we’ll survey first.
Kitchen extract cleaning around Notting Hill
The FSA’s data shows about 106 pubs, bars and clubs and about 146 hotels and B&Bs registered in Notting Hill and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. In London, kitchens are typically cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier. Food hygiene inspections in Notting Hill are the job of Kensington and Chelsea council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Where a hall near St John's Notting Hill, or anywhere in Notting Hill, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Commuter trade near Shepherds Bush station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- A fan motor or bearings that have failed (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or leaking (that’s for a ductwork contractor)
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on in Notting Hill
- Horizontal duct runs
- Extract fans
- Discharge points
- Plenums and filters
- Vertical risers
- Canopies and hoods
When to call us in Notting Hill
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. Most of the time it’s because there were never enough access panels, so those sections were never reached. Grease in those sections keeps building out of sight.
Clients usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
- A smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction
- Grease smells coming from the extract
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Paddington General Hospital is the nearest hospital to Notting Hill, about 1 mile north.
Questions to ask before you book
- 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
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- If they look at the system before pricing
What happens if it’s left?
Grease build-up causes everyday problems too. Blocked filters and narrowed ducts slow the airflow, leaving the kitchen hot and smoky, while the fan works harder to move less air. Smells, dripping grease and condensation often follow. In Notting Hill, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Never cook with filters missing or out of place
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Wash or exchange the filters often
- 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 photos. A TR19 certificate follows, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Report drips, smells or a noisy fan early. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
How it works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes as long as the system needs, from a few hours to several planned visits. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Notting Hill is normally out of hours.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the whole system and its access points.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear the space around the work
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
