About our ductwork cleaning in Agar Town
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. A flare-up drawn up from the range can light it, carrying a fire along the duct and into rooms far from the kitchen. Removing it is the whole point. If you’re dealing with proof of duct cleaning for the insurer and hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs, we can put it right, from horizontal duct runs, access panels and bends and junctions onwards.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. For a kitchen in Agar Town, that typically means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Ductwork cleaning in Agar Town: the local picture
The FSA’s data shows about 252 pubs and bars and about 114 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Agar Town. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too. In Agar Town, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Camden council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Abacus Belsize Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Where a hall near All Saints, or anywhere in Agar Town, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St Pancras Hospital is the nearest hospital to Agar Town, about under half a mile south.
Agar Town is about 1 mile north-west of St Pancras, in Greater London. We provide ductwork cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in Agar Town and the rest of Greater London. Agar Town is one of 764 places in Greater London we cover for commercial clients.

Agar Town questions
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Agar Town during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 69 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Agar Town. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which environmental health team covers Agar Town?
Kitchens in Agar Town are inspected by Camden council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before work begins.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The report shows readings, photos and any sections we couldn’t reach.

Yes. Agar Town is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.

What ductwork cleaning can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Multi-storey ducts
- Horizontal duct runs
- Access panels
- Bends and junctions
- Vertical risers
- Attenuators
What happens on the day
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Agar Town saves time on the night.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
Risers often pass through floors and walls, so fire dampers may be fitted where it crosses them. Damper testing is a separate service.
Bends and transitions
Bends, elbows and changes of size are where grease collects most. The air slows and drops its load, so we clean these points carefully.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Don’t switch the extract off early
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections cannot be reached
Keep the certificate and report with the fire risk assessment. It’s the evidence an insurer or inspector may ask for, and the photos make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. A change in cooking hours may change the interval under BESA guidance, and grease thickness testing will show it.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
