Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Broadfields Estate
Duct Doctor has cleaned kitchen extract ductwork since 2009, working across London and the South East. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, our duct cleaning is done to BESA TR19® Grease, and our certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers vertical risers, bends and junctions and access panels, and common reasons people get in touch are duct runs with no cleaning record and smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork.
Kitchens in Broadfields Estate, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How we price ductwork cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The times the site is available
- What state the system is in
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Travel, parking and unloading
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- A few general shots of the system
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Why deal with it now?
Under BESA guidance, the mean grease level should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans. A reading of 500 microns or more at any point means a spot clean right away. Putting off the clean only pushes readings higher. London sites work long hours, and the longer a job is left, the bigger it gets.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

Other services in Broadfields Estate
For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
The process
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. In Broadfields Estate, as across London, we usually work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Move anything stored near the system
Get a fixed quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Related advice
Broadfields Estate: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in Broadfields Estate?
Food hygiene inspections in Broadfields Estate are carried out by Barnet council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Does London parking affect a job in Broadfields Estate?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Will the duct clean disrupt the kitchen?
Out of hours, at a time that suits the kitchen. Long ducts can be split across visits, with the kitchen ready to cook each morning.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
Every clean comes with a photo report, and a full TR19 clean also comes with a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. File them with the fire risk assessment.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Is Broadfields Estate in your area?
Yes. We cover Broadfields Estate and across Greater London, within our South East and London area. To book, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Part by part
Access panels
After cleaning, every panel is closed and sealed, so grease and air stay inside the duct. A damaged panel is noted on the report.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Long ducts in larger buildings can mean several visits. We agree a sequence that suits the building, out of hours where possible.
Honest limits
Ductwork cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It won’t put right:
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
- Fire dampers that don’t close (they need testing and remedials)
- Duct sections that need replacing
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Multi-storey ducts
- Attenuators
- Access panels
- Horizontal duct runs
- Bends and junctions
- Vertical risers
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Ductwork cleaning around Broadfields Estate
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 7 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Broadfields Estate. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. The fire and rescue service for Broadfields Estate is London Fire Brigade. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in Broadfields Estate get their food hygiene inspections from Barnet council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Headstone Manor is about 4.1 miles south-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Broadfields Estate is Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, about 1.4 miles west. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Rosh Pinah Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
