Ductwork cleaning in Grove Park
No two duct runs are the same, in Grove Park or anywhere else. A few metres to an outside wall, or a riser up through the building to a roof fan. We map the route during the survey, so we know where to get in and how long it will take. The work covers attenuators, access panels and multi-storey ducts, and the jobs we see most are grease seeping out of the duct seams and heavy grease at the base of a riser.
In a London area like Grove Park, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. For a job in Grove Park, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Advice
What the work involves, part by part
Bends and transitions
Wherever the duct turns or changes size, grease builds up. Slowing air leaves grease behind, so we clean these points carefully.
Access panels
Extra panels can be installed where there are gaps, making future cleans more complete. The survey shows where they’re needed.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Grove Park
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Parking and loading at the site
- What state the system is in
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Parts of the duct with no way in
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

FAQs for Grove Park
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Grove Park?
That’s London Fire Brigade. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can a school canteen extract in Grove Park be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 21 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Grove Park. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll fit the work in.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
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.
Do you cover Grove Park?
Yes. Grove Park is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
When is the ductwork 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.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Why deal with it now?
Grease left in a duct in Grove Park hardens over time. It bakes into a hard layer that takes far longer to remove, which makes each delayed clean a bigger one. A building in Grove Park may have flats or offices above and alongside, and a fault in the system can affect them too.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Why us?
- Each visit written up, with pictures
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Member of BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

Grove Park is covered by London Fire Brigade. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.

Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Keep to the interval on the report
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
Access panels are closed and sealed back up after cleaning, and the area around them is cleaned down. Waste grease and water are taken away.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
