Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Broomer's Corner
Every duct has its own route. A few metres to an outside wall, or a riser up through the building to a roof fan. We map the route during the survey, so we know where to get in and how long it will take. If you’re dealing with heavy grease at the base of a riser and sections of duct with no access panels, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Broomer's Corner, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. 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.

FAQs for Broomer's Corner
Can you work in Broomer's Corner outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Broomer's Corner needn’t be disturbed. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you cover smaller places like Broomer's Corner?
Yes. Broomer's Corner is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What should I send you?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Who is the responsible person?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
What happens if there are not enough access panels?
Sections out of reach are written down on the report, in line with TR19. We can fit new access panels so they’re cleaned next time.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
Drips, smells and weak extraction are clues, but measuring is the reliable way to know. A WFTT or DTT reading gives a clear answer.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Keep your cleaning records together
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the surrounding area is left clean. Waste grease and water are taken away.
Keep the fan on throughout service. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
Why it’s worth doing now in Broomer's Corner
There’s no law that names TR19. The Fire Safety Order 2005 makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the duct is part of that. With notice, the visit to Broomer's Corner can be fitted around your bookings and events.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Sections of duct with no access panels
