Ductwork cleaning in Camden Town, Greater London
Ductwork cleaning across Camden Town and nearby, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and pictures.
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- High readings at a recent grease test
What we’re called out for in Camden Town
Grease settles fastest where the air slows down. Long horizontal runs, bends, changes in size and the foot of a riser all collect more, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Michael's Church or anywhere around Camden Town, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Camden Town
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. Flames pulled in from the cooking line can ignite it, and fire can then run along the ductwork to other parts of the building. Removing it is the whole point. If you have high readings at a recent grease test and grease leaking from duct joints, we can help.
Kitchens in Camden Town, 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, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The times the site is available
- The scale of the work
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- A few general shots of the system
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of a flat duct run. Thick deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
Bends and transitions
Wherever the duct turns or changes size, grease builds up. The air slows and drops its load, so we clean these points carefully.
What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
- A damper stuck open in the duct
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Camden Town
What do you need to know about parking in Camden Town?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Camden Town in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 83 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Camden Town, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we usually come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
A photo report, with readings and before and after pictures, plus a TR19 certificate for a full system clean. The report says when the next clean is due.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before we start.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Why it’s worth doing now in Camden Town
Booking the duct clean in Camden Town now keeps it a planned job. It takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access, done out of hours so the kitchen keeps cooking. In Camden Town, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll talk you through it.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Do not switch the extract off early
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Diarise the next duct clean
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
The report names every part of the duct that couldn’t be reached and why. You can then decide whether to have access panels fitted.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. A change in cooking hours may change the interval under BESA guidance, and grease thickness testing will show it.
Kitchen extracts in Camden Town
The Food Standards Agency lists about 179 pubs and bars and about 105 hotels and B&Bs as registered food businesses across Camden Town and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. In Camden Town, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Camden council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in Camden Town falls to London Fire Brigade. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Our Lady Roman Catholic Primary School or anywhere near Camden Town, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Pancras Hospital about 0.5 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the ductwork cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Camden Town.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get 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. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
