Duct cleaning in Brimsdown
Ductwork cleaning across Brimsdown and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and signed off in writing with pictures.
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- High readings at a recent grease test
For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Ductwork cleaning in Brimsdown, done properly
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. Flames pulled in from the cooking line can ignite it, and fire can then run along the ductwork to other parts of the building. Cleaning the duct takes that fuel away. The work covers attenuators, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers, and common reasons people get in touch are a grease test showing the duct is overdue and grease leaking from duct joints.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Brimsdown is normally done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. In a London area like Brimsdown, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It shows when and where the clean was done and by whom.
Have access panels fitted where sections can’t be reached. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Parts of the duct with no way in
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What else we do in Brimsdown
What the work involves, part by part
Attenuators and discharge
Near the discharge, the air has cooled the most, so it can collect more grease than expected. We include it in the clean and the readings.
Vertical risers
In taller buildings, a riser may pass through several floors and fire compartments, so fire dampers may be fitted where it crosses them. We test those as a separate job.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Brimsdown
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The number of sites or systems
- The times the site is available
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.

Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 35 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Brimsdown. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Brimsdown?
Brimsdown is in the area of London Fire Brigade. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we will normally reply within one working day.
