Our kitchen extract cleaning service in UB10
Duct Doctor has been cleaning kitchen extract systems since 2009. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 and are fully insured. Typical jobs include fat running down the canopy edge and ductwork thick with old, hardened grease, on plenums and filters, discharge points and vertical risers.
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full night, depending on the size of the system.
- You send pictures or we visit, and the system is surveyed from canopy to discharge.
- Grease thickness is measured and the price is fixed before work starts.
- On the night, the equipment is off and cool and the kitchen is sheeted.
- Filters, canopy and plenum are cleaned, then the ducts, risers, fan and discharge.
- We re-test, photograph and send your certificate and photo report.

Where we work in UB10
Kitchens across UB10 cook for very different hours, from all-day town-centre sites to part-time hall and school kitchens. The right interval comes from hours of use and grease readings.
We work across London and the South East, and UB10 is part of that area. Every job is surveyed first and quoted at a fixed price.
Hillingdon: A hospital like Hillingdon Hospital, about 1 mile south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. School kitchens, at schools like Abbotsfield School for Boys for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Tell us when the extract starts to drip or smell
- Switch the fan on before cooking starts
- Keep the cleaning records where you can find them
You leave with a date for the next clean, set from your daily cooking hours and the readings we took. We can put the system on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly plan, so the date isn’t missed.
Tell whoever looks after the system when something changes. Drips, odours and fan noise often mean grease is building, and a grease thickness test can confirm it.
When it’s something else
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Fat blocking the kitchen drains
- Fire dampers that won’t close (that needs damper testing and remedials)
- A canopy that’s too small or a system that was badly designed
For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
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.
Why deal with it now?
Environmental health officers inspect food businesses, in UB10 as everywhere else, and they look at the cleanliness of the premises and equipment, extraction included. Keeping the extract clean helps the whole kitchen pass muster.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the quote shows VAT
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
FAQs for UB10
What’s the right cleaning interval for a kitchen extract?
It depends on how many hours a day the kitchen cooks. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day calls for a clean at least every 3 months under BESA guidance, and lighter use less often. Your report gives a recommended next clean date.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost in UB10?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll typically reply within one working day.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and a few pictures plus the address and your hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
What does a TR19 kitchen extract clean include?
We clean every part the grease travels through. That means canopy, plenum, filters, ducts, risers, fan and discharge, reached through access panels where needed.
