Need ductwork cleaning in Fulham?

Leave it or put it right?

Insurers know the risk of a greasy duct. Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and a claim may be refused or reduced without evidence. A certificate that covers the ductwork is what they want to see. A busy site in Fulham builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.

You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

How we handle ductwork cleaning in Fulham

In doctor’s terms, the ductwork is the system’s arteries: diagnose where grease has built up, clear it and confirm the result. Readings taken before and after show the difference, alongside before and after pictures. If you are dealing with sections of duct with no access panels and heavy grease at the base of a riser, we can help.

Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. For a kitchen in Fulham, that normally means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.

Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How we price ductwork cleaning

The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:

  • Where the site is and how we reach it
  • Any permits to work or inductions
  • The size of the system
  • Working hours and out-of-hours timing

Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

Helping us quote

What to send for a quote:

  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use

For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by 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 normally come back within one working day.

What ductwork cleaning looks like in Fulham

There are about 845 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 128 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Fulham, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, grease doesn’t stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. Food hygiene inspections in Fulham are the job of Hammersmith and Fulham council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. London jobs normally start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.

Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Western Hospital is the nearest hospital to Fulham, about 0.7 miles north-east. Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Johns Walham Green Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Part by part

Attenuators and discharge

Attenuators, where fitted, quieten the extract, but they can hold grease in their linings. We clean what can be reached and note anything that cannot.

Multi-storey and shared buildings

A duct that climbs several floors may be cleaned over more than one visit. We agree a sequence that suits the building, out of hours where possible.

Fulham: your questions answered

Which environmental health team covers Fulham?

That is Hammersmith and Fulham council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Fulham. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.

How do you handle parking and loading in Fulham?

London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. If the building has a loading slot system, we’ll book into it.

Do you work in Fulham?

Yes. Our technicians work in Fulham, within the South East and London area we cover.

How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?

The date on the last certificate is the first thing to check. If it’s overdue, or there is not one, a clean is due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.

What if parts of the system can’t be reached?

We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.

How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?

We get into the duct through its access panels. Heavy grease is scraped out by hand, then the surfaces are degreased with a method that suits the deposit, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.

How often should kitchen ducts be cleaned?

The duct is cleaned as part of the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance, from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Readings tell you if it needs to be more often.

Are you fully insured?

Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.

For landlords and multi-site operators

The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

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

Keeping the system healthy

Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:

  • Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
  • Flag drips from the duct straight away
  • Ask us about extra access panels where sections cannot be reached
  • Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up

Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, giving you before and after readings. Before and after pictures sit next to the numbers.

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 happens on the day

Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Fulham saves time on the night.

  1. Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
  2. You get a fixed price before work starts.
  3. Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
  4. We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
  5. Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.

How to prepare

  • Move anything stored near the system
  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

How to get a quote

Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Common problems we fix in Fulham

A duct with too few access doors can’t be fully cleaned. Stretches with no way in may never have been touched, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.

Common reasons sites call us include:

  • Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
  • Gaps where access panels were never fitted
  • Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
  • Ductwork that has never been cleaned

Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St. Peter's Church, or anywhere in Fulham, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
  • How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
  • What insurance they carry
  • What records you will receive afterwards
