Ductwork Cleaning in Bunkers Hill
Ductwork cleaning in Bunkers Hill from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.

When to call us in Bunkers Hill
Grease in a duct running from a kitchen in Bunkers Hill is as much a fire risk as in any building. Burning grease can carry fire through the ductwork to other rooms or floors, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
What we are most often called out for:
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of Holy Cross or anywhere around Bunkers Hill, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What your quote should include
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Ductwork cleaning in Bunkers Hill, done properly
We have been trading 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, with each certificate issued through the BESCA portal. The work covers bends and junctions, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are high readings at a recent grease test and hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs.
For a kitchen in or near Bunkers Hill, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Bunkers Hill
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by ductwork cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Parts of the duct with no way in
- Faulty fire dampers
- An extract fan that has stopped working
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Access panels
- Bends and junctions
- Attenuators
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Multi-storey ducts

How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. In a small place like Bunkers Hill, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Leave it or put it right?
A dirty duct is something insurers ask about. Many require cleaning to TR19, and they can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A certificate that covers the ductwork is what they want to see. A planned visit to Bunkers Hill is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What you get with us

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not 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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What else we do in Bunkers Hill
Bunkers Hill questions
Can you work in Bunkers Hill outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Bunkers Hill does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you cover smaller places like Bunkers Hill?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Bunkers Hill is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, extra panels can be fitted. That lets the next clean reach sections that were missed, and the report will show where they’re needed.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What the work involves, 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 TR19 expects them to be recorded.
Vertical risers
Risers are cleaned through panels at different levels. Where it can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
