Kitchen Duct Cleaning Services in London
Grease doesn’t just sit on surfaces in a busy kitchen — it rises. As your team fries, grills, and cooks, airborne grease condenses inside your extraction ductwork and builds up day after day. It’s hidden above the ceiling, but it’s one of the biggest fire and compliance risks in any commercial kitchen.
We provide specialist kitchen duct cleaning in London to remove grease deposits, improve airflow, and keep your site compliant with TR19® (Grease) guidance.
TR19®-Focused Kitchen Extraction & Duct Cleaning
Our experienced duct cleaning teams work across a wide range of catering environments, including restaurants, takeaways, pubs, hotels, schools, universities, hospitals, care homes, and high-street brands. We tailor every clean to your kitchen’s cooking volume, risk profile, and system layout.
Our duct cleaning services include:
Kitchen extract ductwork cleaning – full degreasing of ducts to reduce fire risk and restore performance
Canopy hood & filter cleaning – removal of heavy grease build-up in high-deposit areas
Fan and ventilation cleaning – cleaning of key components that affect airflow and safety
Access hatch & panel checks (and installation support if needed) – ensuring duct sections can be properly reached for inspection and cleaning
We don’t just clean for appearance — we clean for safety, hygiene, and measurable compliance.
Why Dirty Ducts Are a Serious Fire Risk
Grease inside extraction ductwork is highly flammable. If regular deep cleans aren’t carried out, a single flare-up from cooking equipment can ignite deposits, allowing fire to spread rapidly through the extraction system and beyond.
That’s why insurers, landlords, and fire safety auditors increasingly expect documented evidence that your extraction system is maintained and cleaned correctly.
TR19® Compliance and Verification
TR19® (Grease) is the industry-recognised specification for managing grease build-up in commercial kitchen extraction systems. As part of a professional service, ductwork cleanliness should be verified — not guessed.
Where required, we can support compliance checks using industry verification methods such as Wet Film Thickness (WFT) testing, which measures grease accumulation across sections of the system to confirm whether cleaning is needed and how urgently.
Typical TR19® Grease thresholds (guide):
Under 200μm (mean across the system): compliant
Over 200μm: full clean required
Any single reading over 500μm: urgent clean required
