Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Furzedown
Each extract duct we take on in Furzedown goes through the full routine: readings at set points, heavy grease scraped out by hand, then degreasing to suit the deposit. Post-clean readings and pictures complete the record. We’re often asked to deal with a rancid smell from the extract duct and heavy grease at the base of a riser, across vertical risers, access panels and bends and junctions.
In a London area like Furzedown, 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The number of sites or systems
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- A few general shots of the system
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Questions from Furzedown
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Furzedown during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 33 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Furzedown. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Furzedown?
That’s London Fire Brigade. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes. We’ll point out where panels are needed, and fitting them means future cleans are more complete.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. If your building in Furzedown has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Do you need ductwork cleaning in Furzedown?
The further the air travels from the cooking, the cooler it gets. Cooling air drops its grease onto the inside of the duct, which is why ducts go on gathering grease well beyond the filters.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
For schools such as Graveney School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Comparing quotes
- Proof of insurance
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
Managing agents and facilities teams in Furzedown
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Why deal with it now?
Grease left in a duct in Furzedown hardens over time. It bakes into a hard layer that takes far longer to remove, which makes each delayed clean a bigger one. For a site in Furzedown, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
Why us?
- A fixed price before any work starts
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- We are fully insured

Furzedown kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 447 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 117 takeaways in Furzedown and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. The duct above a busy canopy coats itself in grease long before anyone sees it. Environmental health officers from Merton council inspect food businesses in Furzedown. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading is not affected.
A kitchen near Tooting station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Where a hall near St Paul's Church, or anywhere in Furzedown, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
