FAQs for Clapham Park
Can you come to Clapham Park after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Clapham Park needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Clapham Park out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 56 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Clapham Park, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
Sections out of reach are written down on the report, as TR19 expects. We can fit new access panels so they’re cleaned next time.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
About our ductwork cleaning in Clapham Park
In doctor’s terms, the ductwork is the system’s arteries: find the blockages, clear them, then check the flow is right. Grease readings before and after give you the evidence, alongside before and after photos. Typical jobs include thick crusts of old grease along the duct and an insurer asking for TR19 evidence, on bends and junctions, multi-storey ducts and access panels.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. For a kitchen in Clapham Park, that normally means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Clapham Park and across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
The process
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the ductwork cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. For a job in Clapham Park, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about parking and loading

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Diarise the next duct clean
After the clean, the same points are tested again, so the report shows the before and after figures. Before and after photos sit next to the numbers.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Duct sections that need replacing
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- An extract fan that has stopped working
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work

- Vertical risers
- Bends and junctions
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
What the work involves, part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Horizontal runs carry the extract along ceilings and through voids. They collect grease as the air cools and slows, and we clean them section by section through access panels.
Bends and transitions
Transitions from the canopy spigot into the duct catch a lot of grease. We reach it from the plenum side where possible.
Why deal with it now?
Insurers know the risk of a greasy duct. Many require cleaning to TR19, and they can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. Your certificate and photo report show the ducts were cleaned. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Grease, kitchens and Clapham Park
Food Standards Agency records list about 672 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 225 takeaways in and around Clapham Park, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they cook under a canopy, grease doesn’t stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. In London, kitchens are usually cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier. Food hygiene inspections in Clapham Park are the job of Lambeth council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you cook for passing trade around Clapham High Street station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St James' Hospital is the nearest hospital to Clapham Park, about 1.4 miles south-west. School kitchens, at schools like Glenbrook Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
