Kitchen extract cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Park Royal
Every time food is cooked, warm vapour carries fat up into the extract. It cools inside the duct and settles as a sticky film that thickens month by month. That layer will burn, and a proper clean removes it before it becomes a fire risk. We’re often asked to deal with a kitchen taken over without any extract records and an extract that has never been cleaned to TR19, on discharge points, canopies and hoods and horizontal duct runs. People looking for “duct cleaning near me” in Park Royal usually mean the kitchen extract, and that’s exactly what we do: 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.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Park Royal 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 have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
- Book the next clean before the date on the report
If we couldn’t get into part of the duct, the report says so plainly. That’s part of an honest TR19 clean, not a failing, and new access panels can be fitted so the next clean covers it.
Keep the outside of the canopy wiped and any grease cups emptied. It won’t replace a TR19 clean, but it slows what reaches the duct.
How we price kitchen extract cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- The condition of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- A few general shots of the system
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
If you need kitchen extract cleaning in Park Royal, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Park Royal: the local picture
Food Standards Agency data counts about 345 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 186 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Park Royal. Wherever food is cooked under a canopy, the extract above it gathers grease and needs cleaning on a schedule. London Fire Brigade covers Park Royal. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In London, kitchens are usually cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier.
School kitchens, at schools like West Twyford Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hospital like Central Middlesex Hospital, about less than half a 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 St Gabriel's Church or elsewhere in Park Royal, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Park Royal is about 1 mile south-west of Harlesden, in Greater London. If you need kitchen extract cleaning in Park Royal, please ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos for a fixed quote.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Questions from Park Royal
Can parking be tricky for a job in Park Royal?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Park Royal, and about any building rules on loading. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Which fire authority looks after Park Royal?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Park Royal. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 sit alongside that, and we’re fully insured.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Because a dirty extract can spread a fire through a building. Many policies say the extract must be cleaned to TR19, and a claim may be reduced without proof, so keep every certificate.
What paperwork comes with a kitchen extract clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
Can you quote from photos?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, 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. The visit takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. In Park Royal, as across London, we normally work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- 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.
- Heavy deposits are scraped by hand and the system degreased to TR19® Grease.
- The sign-off: post-clean readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear the space around the work
Get a fixed quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Park Royal and across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Blocked drains from a neglected grease trap (a separate service)
- A fan motor that has burnt out
- A duct that is holed or coming apart
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work
- Extract fans
- Plenums and filters
- Canopies and hoods
- Discharge points
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
Part by part
Extract fan and discharge
At the end of the system is the discharge, which can collect grease and stain the surface around it. It’s cleaned as far as safe access allows, and any limits are recorded.
Restaurant and pub kitchens
Restaurants and pubs tend to cook long hours with plenty of frying and grilling, so their cleaning interval is often 3 or 6 months under BESA guidance. We clean after close or before opening.
