For landlords and multi-site operators

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.

Ductwork cleaning in Dagenham Green

No two duct runs are the same, in Dagenham Green or anywhere else. A few metres to an outside wall, or a riser up through the building to a roof fan. The survey traces the route and finds every access point before we quote. Typical jobs include a grease test showing the duct is overdue and duct runs with no cleaning record, across vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and access panels.

In a London area like Dagenham Green, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.

Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Questions from Dagenham Green

Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Dagenham Green during the holidays?

Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Dagenham Green, the Food Standards Agency lists about 23 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.

Can parking be tricky for a job in Dagenham Green?

Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.

Are you accredited?

BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.

What happens to the waste?

We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.

What do you need from me for a quote?

The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.

What does ductwork cleaning cost?

Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll typically reply within one working day.

How much notice should we give?

The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.

What does TR19 mean?

TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.

When it’s something else

Some problems need a different service or another trade:

  • Duct sections that need replacing
  • A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
  • Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls

If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Where we work

  • Access panels
  • Multi-storey ducts
  • Vertical risers
  • Attenuators
  • Horizontal duct runs
  • Bends and junctions

How the job changes from site to site

Attenuators and discharge

Near the discharge, the air has cooled the most, which can mean heavier deposits. It’s tested and cleaned along with the rest.

Bends and transitions

Wherever the duct turns or changes size, grease builds up. Slowing air leaves grease behind, so these points get extra attention.

The process

The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Dagenham Green needs from us.

  1. The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
  2. Grease thickness is measured at set points.
  3. Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
  4. Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
  5. Panels are closed, readings and pictures repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
  • Let us know about parking and loading

How to get a quote

To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.

What happens if it’s left?

Dealing with the ductwork in Dagenham Green now beats dealing with it after a problem. The work 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. A booked night’s work in Dagenham Green costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.

We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

How we price ductwork cleaning

We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:

  • How many systems or sites are involved
  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
  • Working hours and out-of-hours timing
  • The condition of the system

Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

Helping us quote

What to send for a quote:

  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet
  • Problems your staff have spotted
  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Dagenham Green kitchens: local notes

Food Standards Agency records list about 57 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 53 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Dagenham Green. Wherever those kitchens cook under a canopy, the horizontal runs and risers need cleaning as well as the hood. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too. The fire and rescue service for Dagenham Green is 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.

For kitchens close to Dagenham Dock station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. For schools such as Marsh Green Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Barking Community Hospital about 2.3 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What your team can do, and what needs us

A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
