About our ductwork cleaning in Bromley Common
Many ducts were installed with too few access doors. Where a section can’t be reached, TR19 expects it to be recorded on the report, and we can fit new access panels so it’s cleaned next time. An honest report beats a guess. The work covers vertical risers, multi-storey ducts and horizontal duct runs, and the jobs we see most are fat dripping from the ductwork and a duct clean needed for an insurer.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Bromley Common is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Part by part
Access panels
Every section of duct is cleaned through an access panel. Where there are none, those sections cannot be cleaned and the report has to say so.
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.

Bromley Common: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Bromley Common?
In Bromley Common, it’s Bromley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can parking be tricky for a job in Bromley Common?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, as part of our fits and repairs work. We place them where they help most, and we will recommend where.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we’ll normally reply within one working day.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The report shows readings, pictures and any sections we couldn’t reach.
How it works
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Before any visit in Bromley Common, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and pictures repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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.
Advice
Grease, kitchens and Bromley Common
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 20 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels and B&Bs in Bromley Common and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. In London, kitchens are normally cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier. The fire and rescue service for Bromley Common is London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Holy Trinity Church or anywhere around Bromley Common, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Trinity Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Historic houses near Bromley Common, such as Bromley Palace about 1.5 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Why deal with it now?
Grease left in a duct in Bromley Common hardens over time. It bakes into a hard layer that takes far longer to remove, which makes each delayed clean a bigger one. Every month a London system goes without attention adds to what has to be done later.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
You’ll have a recommended date for the next clean, based on the readings and your daily cooking hours, in line with BESA guidance.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
