Furnace Green ductwork cleaning
Ductwork cleaning for Furnace Green, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
What happens if it’s left?
Under BESA guidance, the mean grease level should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans. Anywhere that reaches 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning. Putting off the clean only pushes readings higher. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

How we handle ductwork cleaning in Furnace Green
Ductwork in Furnace Green is cleaned the same thorough way as everywhere else we work: we test the grease first, remove thick deposits by hand and degrease what’s left. Readings are taken again afterwards and photos go into your report. If you have an insurer asking for TR19 evidence and years of grease along the duct floor, we can put it right, from vertical risers, access panels and horizontal duct runs onwards.
In a smaller place like Furnace Green, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
The report gives a recommended next clean date, based on the readings and your daily cooking hours, in line with BESA guidance.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
What ductwork cleaning can’t fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Fire dampers that do not close (they need testing and remedials)
- Duct sections that need replacing
- An extract fan that has stopped working
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.

FAQs for Furnace Green
Can you come to Furnace Green after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Furnace Green needn’t be disturbed. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Furnace Green during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 13 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Furnace Green. You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we usually come back within one working day. If pictures aren’t enough, we will survey first.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
The date on the last certificate is the first thing to check. No record, or a passed date, means it’s due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do you work in Furnace Green?
Yes. Our technicians work in Furnace Green, within the South East and London area we cover.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.

What else we do in Furnace Green
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. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Everything the job in Furnace Green needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- We test again, take photos and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Move anything stored near the system
Get a fixed quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
Advice
What affects the quote in Furnace Green
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Parking and loading at the site
- The size of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
