What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition of the system
- The scale of the work
- A single visit or a regular plan
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
How we handle ductwork cleaning in Fulwell
Once air leaves the canopy, it travels through ductwork that most people never see. Every horizontal run and vertical riser collects grease along the way, and that’s where a kitchen fire can travel. We clean it from the inside, through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. The work covers bends and junctions, multi-storey ducts and access panels, and common reasons people get in touch are smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork and ductwork that has never been cleaned.
In a London area like Fulwell, 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Fulwell kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 190 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 33 takeaways in Fulwell and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. London jobs usually start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first. London Fire Brigade covers Fulwell. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
For schools such as Stanley Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Michael's, or anywhere in Fulwell, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Multi-storey ducts
- Bends and junctions
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Attenuators
- Access panels
What happens if it’s left?
Grease narrows the duct and slows the air. Less air moves, so heat and smoke stay in the kitchen while the fan strains and grease can drip from duct joints. For a site in Fulwell, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.

- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and pictures repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.

- Let us know about parking and loading
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Related advice
Fulwell: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Fulwell?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Fulwell. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What do you need to know about parking in Fulwell?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit typically gets round them.
Do you cover Fulwell?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Fulwell included.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
Do we have to stop cooking while the ducts are cleaned?
Out of hours, at a time that suits the kitchen. Long ducts can be split across visits, with the kitchen ready to cook each morning.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes. The survey or clean shows where sections couldn’t be reached, and fitting them means future cleans are more complete.
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Don’t switch the extract off early
You will have a recommended date for the next clean, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
Some signs mean the duct needs attention sooner: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.
When to call us in Fulwell
Air cools as it moves away from the canopy. As it cools, the grease it carries condenses onto the duct walls, which is why ducts go on gathering grease well beyond the filters.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
Commuter trade near Fulwell station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.
