Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Goddington
Duct Doctor has cleaned kitchen extract ductwork since 2009, working across London and the South East. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, our duct cleaning is done to BESA TR19® Grease, with each certificate issued through the BESCA portal. The work covers horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and access panels, and people most often call us about duct runs that can’t be reached and proof of duct cleaning for the insurer.
In a London area like Goddington, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Flag drips from the duct right away
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the area around them is cleaned down. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.

FAQs for Goddington
Can you come to Goddington after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Goddington keeps running as normal. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Goddington during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Goddington. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Is Goddington in your area?
Yes. Goddington is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What if part of the duct cannot be reached?
Ductwork needs access to be cleaned. We record those sections on the report and can fit access panels.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

What ductwork cleaning looks like in Goddington
Food Standards Agency records list about 68 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 32 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Goddington. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. Kitchens in Goddington get their food hygiene inspections from Bromley council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as The Highway Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Orpington Hospital is the nearest hospital to Goddington, about 0.8 miles west.

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Goddington?
Damaged or poorly fitted filters let more grease into the duct. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should and it fills faster.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Christ Church, or anywhere in Goddington, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Before booking anyone

- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- If they look at the system before pricing
What the work involves, part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Horizontal runs carry the extract along ceilings and through voids. They collect grease as the air cools and slows, and we clean them section by section through access panels.
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building to the roof. Grease runs down the walls and gathers at the base, so the base is one of our test points.
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Most London sites cannot stop for the day, so work in Goddington is usually done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- We test again, take photos and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
