Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Euston
Every duct has its own route. A few metres to an outside wall, or a riser up through the building to a roof fan. We map the route during the survey, so we know where to get in and how long it will take. We’re often asked to deal with years of grease along the duct floor and sections of duct with no access panels, on bends and junctions, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Euston is normally done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Do you need ductwork cleaning in Euston?
Grease filters that don’t seal let fat straight through. The duct then takes grease that the filters should have stopped and it fills faster.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Duct runs that cannot be reached
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Pancras New Church or anywhere around Euston, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Before booking anyone

- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- When the next visit should be, and why
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Ductwork cleaning in Euston: the local picture
Look up Euston on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 4,001 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 697 sandwich bars and takeaways in Euston and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each kitchen that cooks under a canopy sends grease-laden air into a duct, where it cools and settles. In London, kitchens are usually cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier. Food hygiene inspections in Euston are the job of Camden council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you cook for passing trade around London Euston station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Term dates shape school work: for a school like UCL School of Slavonic and East European Studies, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Why act early in Euston
A partly blocked duct slows the airflow. The fan works harder, the kitchen gets hotter and smoke lingers at the canopy, and grease may start to leak from joints. In Euston, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

Euston questions
Can school kitchens in Euston be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 76 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Euston, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Euston?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Euston. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What should I send you?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
A short duct can be cleaned in a few hours, while long ducts and tall risers can need more than one visit. Visits are planned out of hours.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: 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.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before work begins.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
When is the ductwork cleaned?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, evenings, overnight or at weekends. Equipment and the extract are switched off while we work.
The process
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the ductwork cleaning, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. If your building in Euston has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Diarise the next duct clean
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the area around them is cleaned down. Waste grease and water are taken away.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. A change in cooking hours may change the interval under BESA guidance, and grease thickness testing will show it.
What ductwork cleaning can’t fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
- Duct sections that need replacing
- Faulty fire dampers
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Access panels
- Vertical risers
- Attenuators
- Multi-storey ducts
- Horizontal duct runs
- Bends and junctions
Part by part
Vertical risers
A riser takes the duct up through one or more floors. Grease collects on the walls and at the foot of the riser, which is one of the points we test.
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 cannot.
