Why act early in College Park
Grease left in a duct in College Park hardens over time. Heat and age turn it into a thick, stubborn crust, so the later the clean, the bigger the job. It’s better booked as a planned job in College Park than handled as an emergency.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Ductwork cleaning in College Park, done properly
Each extract duct we take on in College Park goes through the full routine: readings at set points, heavy grease scraped out by hand, then degreasing to suit the deposit. Readings are taken again afterwards and pictures go into your report. If you have grease pooling at the foot of the riser and hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs, we can put it right.
Kitchens in College Park, 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Flag drips from the duct right away
- Keep to the interval on the report
File the paperwork in the maintenance log. An insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask to see it, and the photos make the duct’s condition easy to see.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
FAQs for College Park
Can you work in College Park outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in College Park doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Can school kitchens in College Park be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 66 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of College Park. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote and we’ll typically reply within one working day.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
What is TR19?
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 if part of the duct can’t be reached?
We clean everything we can reach and record what we can’t. Fitting extra access panels is the usual answer, and we can do that for you.
What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we’re happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in College Park.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Move anything stored near the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Advice
Common problems we fix in College Park
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease collects on the riser walls and gathers at the bottom, where it can pool. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to College Park is Princess Louise Hospital, about 0.9 miles south-east.
What your quote should include
- Proof of insurance
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
Ductwork cleaning in College Park: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records list about 411 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 168 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central College Park. Where they cook under a canopy, grease doesn’t stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. Fire safety in College Park falls to London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Brent council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in College Park. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Kenmont Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Church and community hall kitchens, near Saint Mark's or anywhere around College Park, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
How we price ductwork cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The times the site is available
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition of the system
- How big the system is
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The postcode and the type of business
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
