What affects the quote in Wembley
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Where the site is and how we reach it
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
How we handle kitchen extract cleaning in Wembley
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract systems since 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, we clean to BESA TR19® Grease, and we are fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. The work covers canopies and hoods, plenums and filters and horizontal duct runs, and people most often call us about ductwork thick with old, hardened grease and an extract that no longer clears the smoke. Canopy cleaning, extract cleaning and duct cleaning are often used to mean the same thing, but a proper TR19® clean in Wembley covers all of it, from the hood to the fan.
A clean in Wembley covers the canopy, plenum, filters, ductwork, risers and fan, then record anything that couldn’t be reached.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Wembley is typically done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Why it’s worth doing now in Wembley
After a fire, one of the first questions is often when the extract was last cleaned. Many insurers ask for proof of TR19 cleaning and may reduce or refuse a claim without it. A current certificate is far easier to produce than an explanation. A busy site in Wembley builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Wembley
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 can quote for the whole system.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes one visit for most kitchens, while large or complex systems may need more than one. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Wembley.
- You send photos or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- The kitchen is closed, the equipment cooled and everything nearby protected.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Diarise the next clean as soon as you get the certificate
- Don’t let the canopy gutters overflow
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is lit
A TR19 certificate notes the date, the location and the technician. File it with the fire risk assessment and the maintenance log, so it’s to hand when an insurer, fire officer or EHO asks.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.

Kitchen extract cleaning around Wembley
There are about 169 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 179 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Wembley, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of them cooking under a canopy is sending grease into its ductwork every service. The fire and rescue service for Wembley is London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too.
For kitchens close to North Wembley station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Augustine, or anywhere in Wembley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Wembley is about 5 miles west of Hampstead, in Greater London. Sites in Wembley get the same service as everywhere we cover: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with pictures.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
When to call us in Wembley
We often find duct sections that haven’t been cleaned since they were installed. The usual reason is a lack of access panels, so nobody could get to them. That hidden grease keeps building where nobody looks.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Heavy grease build-up inside the duct runs
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
School kitchens, at schools like Wembley Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Questions from Wembley
Which fire authority looks after Wembley?
Wembley is in the area of London Fire Brigade. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you work overnight in Wembley?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Wembley needn’t be disturbed. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do insurers need proof of extract cleaning?
Grease in an extract is a known fire risk, so many insurers want evidence it’s being cleaned to TR19. Each clean gives you a certificate and photo report to show them.
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
Under BESA guidance, the minimum depends on how long you cook each day: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings can show a shorter interval is needed.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How long will the clean take?
Short systems are done in a few hours, while long runs and tall risers take longer and may need more than one visit. We’ll tell you how long when we quote.
