Questions from Broad Green
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Broad Green?
That’s London Fire Brigade. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What do you need to know about parking in Broad Green?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before we start.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we’ll survey first.
Do you work in Broad Green?
Yes. Our technicians work in Broad Green, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Ductwork cleaning in Broad Green, done properly
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? Tell us about the system when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will send you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, typically within one working day. The work covers bends and junctions, attenuators and multi-storey ducts, and people most often call us about grease pooling at the foot of the riser and a rancid smell from the extract duct.
Kitchens in Broad Green, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Most London sites can’t stop for the day, so work in Broad Green is usually done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- We test again, take photos and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
Different parts, different methods
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A duct that climbs several floors may be cleaned over more than one visit. Visits are planned around the building’s hours, out of hours where possible.
Vertical risers
Risers are cleaned through panels at different levels. Where it can’t be reached safely, the report says so.

What else we do in Broad Green
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Check readings when the menu changes
You’ll have a recommended date for the next clean, based on the readings and your daily cooking hours, in line with BESA guidance.
Some signs mean the duct needs attention sooner: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Broad Green?
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease clings to the walls and can run down to the base, where it can pool. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
Look out for any of the following:
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Saviour or elsewhere in Broad Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What to look for in a quote
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether the price is fixed
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- When the next visit should be, and why
How we price ductwork cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The condition of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The number of sites or systems
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Honest limits
Ductwork cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Broad Green
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Broad Green
The FSA’s data shows about 32 pubs and bars and about 18 hotels and B&Bs registered within about 1.5 miles of central Broad Green. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. It’s Croydon council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Broad Green. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too.
A kitchen near West Croydon station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. For schools such as Elmwood Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
