Ductwork cleaning in Berrylands, done properly
The ductwork is where an extract clean is won or lost. Sections with no way in can go uncleaned for years. Each section we can reach is cleaned, and any we cannot is written down, so you know exactly where you stand. Common call-outs are for duct runs that can’t be reached and readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test, on bends and junctions, attenuators and multi-storey ducts.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Berrylands is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Berrylands: your questions answered
How do you handle parking and loading in Berrylands?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Berrylands, and about any building rules on loading. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Berrylands?
In Berrylands, it’s Kingston-Upon-Thames council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we usually come back within one working day. If photos are not enough, we will survey first.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Berrylands?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will usually reply within one working day.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
A photo report, with readings and before and after photos, plus a TR19 certificate for a full system clean. The report says when the next clean is due.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
The date on the last certificate is the first thing to check. No record, or a passed date, means it’s due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
What affects the quote in Berrylands
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition we find in the survey
- The scale of the work
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. In Berrylands, as across London, we typically work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- We test again, take pictures and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Move anything stored near the system

Advice
How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building to the roof. Grease collects on the walls and at the foot of the riser, so the base is one of our test points.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Ducts in taller or shared buildings often run past other occupiers. We plan access with you and the building manager, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
The report gives a recommended next clean date, based on the readings and your daily cooking hours, in line with BESA guidance.
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.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Berrylands
The FSA’s data shows about 53 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 11 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered within about 1.5 miles of central Berrylands. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected. Berrylands sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Historic houses near Berrylands, such as Hampton Court Palace about 2.4 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Christ Church CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Why deal with it now?
Grease narrows the duct and slows the air. Less air moves, so heat and smoke stay in the kitchen while the fan strains, and grease may start to leak from joints. In Berrylands, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.

What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- Parts of the duct with no way in
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What else we do in Berrylands
What we’re called out for in Berrylands
Damaged or poorly fitted filters let more grease into the duct. The duct then takes grease that the filters should have stopped and it fills faster.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- Sections of duct with no access panels
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Tolworth Hospital about 1.1 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
