Greater London · Ductwork cleaning
Ductwork cleaning in Coombe, Greater London
Cleaning of kitchen extract ductwork, horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels for commercial sites in Coombe and across Greater London. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- Grease leaking from duct joints
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it 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 Coombe.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Ductwork cleaning in Coombe, 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. If you have stale grease odours from the duct and a grease test showing the duct is overdue, we can help.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Coombe is typically done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
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 are fully insured.

- Faulty fire dampers
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)

What else we do in Coombe
Part by part
Access panels
Every section of duct is cleaned through an access panel. Without them, parts of the duct cannot be reached, and TR19 expects them to be recorded.
Horizontal duct runs
Flat runs of duct link the canopy to the riser or the outside wall. They collect grease as the air cools and slows, so each section is cleaned through its access panels.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Coombe
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Why it’s worth doing now in Coombe
Under BESA guidance, the mean grease level should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans. A reading of 500 microns or more at any point means a spot clean right away. Putting off the clean only pushes readings higher. A busy site in Coombe builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.

Ductwork cleaning around Coombe
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 20 pubs, bars and clubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Coombe. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too. Coombe is covered by London Fire Brigade. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Kingston Hospital is the nearest hospital to Coombe, about 0.8 miles west. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Coombe Hill Junior School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Questions from Coombe
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Coombe out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 22 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Coombe. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll fit the work in.
How do you handle parking and loading in Coombe?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Working overnight, as we often do in London, normally makes it simpler.
Is Coombe in your area?
Yes. We cover Coombe and across Greater London, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, as part of our fits and repairs work. Panels go where they give the best access to sections that couldn’t be reached, and we’ll recommend where.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
We open each access panel and clean the section it reaches. Grease is scraped out first, then degreased, with readings taken before and after.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Common problems we fix in Coombe
A vertical riser can run up several floors. Grease clings to the walls and can run down to the base as liquid grease runs down. Access along its height is needed to clean it properly.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Christ Church New Malden or elsewhere in Coombe, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
