About our ductwork cleaning in Eastfields
Between the canopy and the fan runs the ductwork, hidden above ceilings and inside walls. Grease settles along every metre of it, and that’s where a kitchen fire can travel. We clean it from the inside, through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. If you’re dealing with grease pooling at the foot of the riser and stale grease odours from the duct, we can help.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. For a kitchen in Eastfields, that usually means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

What ductwork cleaning looks like in Eastfields
Food Standards Agency data counts about 194 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 93 takeaways in and around Eastfields, up to about a mile and a half out. The duct above a busy canopy coats itself in grease long before anyone sees it. Food hygiene inspections in Eastfields are the job of Merton council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. London Fire Brigade covers Eastfields. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Wilson Hospital about 0.9 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. A kitchen near Mitcham Eastfields station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Do not switch the extract off early
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Diarise the next duct clean
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the surrounding area is left clean. Waste grease and water are taken away.
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.
Eastfields: your questions answered
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Eastfields?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Eastfields. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Who inspects food businesses in Eastfields?
The local authority for Eastfields is Merton council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
How long will the duct clean take?
Short runs are quick, while long ducts and tall risers can need more than one visit. We plan the work around your kitchen.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, we do. We will point out where panels are needed, and we can fit them so those sections are cleaned in future.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
Through access panels along the duct. Thick deposits are removed by hand before degreasing, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
When to call us in Eastfields
Ducts in Eastfields gather grease for the same reasons as ducts anywhere: daily cooking hours, the menu and the state of the filters. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily use.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
Where a hall near St. Mark's Church, or anywhere in Eastfields, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What insurance they carry
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate

When something else is needed
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A duct that is too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Multi-storey ducts
- Horizontal duct runs
- Access panels
- Bends and junctions
- Attenuators
- Vertical risers
How the job changes from site to site
Access panels
Every section of duct is cleaned through an access panel. Where there are none, those sections can’t be cleaned, and TR19 expects them to be recorded.
Attenuators and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to reduce noise, and their linings can soak up grease. We clean what can be reached and note anything that can’t.

How it works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Eastfields.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
