How we handle ductwork cleaning in Brondesbury

We treat ductwork like a doctor treats arteries: diagnose where grease has built up, clear it and confirm the result. Readings taken before and after show the difference, alongside before and after pictures. If you are dealing with duct runs that can’t be reached and thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct, we can put it right, from vertical risers, attenuators and multi-storey ducts onwards.

Kitchens in Brondesbury, 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.

Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

For landlords and multi-site operators

Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Brondesbury and across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

How we price ductwork cleaning

A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:

  • The times the site is available
  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
  • One-off work versus a regular cycle
  • The size of the system

No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Helping us quote

You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:

  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • Problems your staff have spotted
  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • Your last certificate, test record or report

Need a price for ductwork cleaning? Please ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with a few details about the site. We will explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before you commit to anything.

Aftercare tips

Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:

  • Leave a way through to the access panels
  • Flag drips from the duct right away
  • Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
  • Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up

Any section of duct we couldn’t reach is listed on the report and why. You can then decide whether to have access panels fitted.

Watch for warning signs between cleans: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

How it works

At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Before any visit in Brondesbury, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.

  1. First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
  2. You get a fixed price before work starts.
  3. Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
  4. Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
  5. Readings, pictures and a recommended next clean date complete the job.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
  • Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
  • Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Brondesbury: your questions answered

Can school kitchens in Brondesbury be cleaned in the holidays?

Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 79 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Brondesbury, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.

Is parking a problem for work in Brondesbury?

We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.

How much notice should we give?

The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.

Is a quote from pictures possible?

In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.

Do you look at the system first?

Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.

How do you protect the area?

We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.

How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?

A grease thickness test gives the answer. Using a Wet Film Thickness Test or Deposit Thickness Test, we check the grease at set points. A mean above 200 microns, or 500 microns at any point, means it’s due.

What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?

When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, you get a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The report shows readings, photos and any sections we couldn’t reach.

Brondesbury kitchens: local notes

Food Standards Agency records include about 52 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 14 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Brondesbury. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Food hygiene inspections in Brondesbury are the job of Brent council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. London jobs normally start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.

School kitchens, at schools like North West London Jewish Day School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like New End Hospital about 1.5 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you cook for passing trade around Brondesbury station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Why it’s worth doing now in Brondesbury

Fire inside a duct is out of sight and out of reach. The duct can carry it to rooms, floors or roof spaces well away from the kitchen, which is why the duct matters as much as the canopy. A building in Brondesbury may have flats or offices above and alongside, and a fault in the system can affect them too.
