TR19 kitchen extract cleaning in Yeading
Looking for kitchen extract cleaning in Yeading? We survey first, give you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, finishing with a written report and photos.
- An extract that no longer clears the smoke
- Grease dripping from the canopy or filters
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Kitchen extract cleaning in Yeading, done properly
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 film is fuel, and cleaning the whole system is how you keep it under control. We’re often asked to deal with fat running down the canopy edge and a smoky, hot kitchen with weak extraction, on horizontal duct runs, extract fans and canopies and hoods. Kitchen extract cleaning, TR19 cleaning, extraction cleaning: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across Greater London.
Most kitchens in Yeading 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 Yeading is typically done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Kitchen extract cleaning around Yeading
Food Standards Agency data counts about 128 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 64 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Yeading. Each one that cooks under a canopy has an extract system that collects grease and needs regular cleaning. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected. Environmental health officers from Ealing council inspect food businesses in Yeading. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
School kitchens, at schools like Brookside Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Northolt Manor, about 1.4 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Yeading; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

For rail, the closest station is Southall station, roughly 1.8 miles south of the centre.

Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Clean grease off the canopy surfaces regularly
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
You get a photo report after every clean. Before and after pictures show each part of the system, alongside a list of what was cleaned, anything out of reach and the recommended next clean date.
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.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Your questions about kitchen extract cleaning in Yeading
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Yeading in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 36 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Yeading. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Which environmental health team covers Yeading?
The local authority for Yeading is Ealing council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What about areas you cannot get to?
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.
Do you cover Yeading?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Yeading.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Are you a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
Will my insurer ask for a TR19 certificate?
Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and insurers often ask to see the certificate. Without proof, a claim can be refused or reduced, so it’s worth checking your policy wording.
Signs you need kitchen extract cleaning in Yeading
What’s on the menu matters as much as how much is cooked. Frying, grilling and roasting send far more fat into the canopy than steaming or boiling, which is why grease readings matter more than the calendar.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An extract that has never been cleaned to TR19
- Grease drips onto cooking equipment
- Stale cooking odours from the system
- Ductwork thick with old, hardened grease
A hospital like Hayes Cottage Hospital, about 1.5 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a survey comes first
- Proof of insurance
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What paperwork you get at the end
What happens if it’s left?
Grease that is left only gets thicker. Under BESA guidance, grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans, and 500 microns or more at any point needs immediate spot cleaning. Heavy build-up takes longer to remove than regular cleans. Leaving it on a busy London site only adds to the work.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
