Ductwork cleaning in Hampton Wick
Each extract duct we take on in Hampton Wick 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. If you have duct runs with no cleaning record and grease seeping out of the duct seams, we can help.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. In Hampton Wick, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Do you need ductwork cleaning in Hampton Wick?
Ducts in Hampton Wick gather grease for the same reasons as ducts anywhere: hours of cooking, the type of food and how well the filters are kept. Under BESA guidance, the minimum interval is 3, 6 or 12 months, by daily cooking hours.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
Church and community hall kitchens, near All Saints Church or anywhere around Hampton Wick, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- What paperwork you get at the end
- How VAT is shown on the quote
How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we are happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Hampton Wick.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- Readings and photos are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The condition of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The times the site is available
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- A few general shots of the system
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Grease, kitchens and Hampton Wick
Food Standards Agency records include about 50 pubs and bars and about 6 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hampton Wick. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Food hygiene inspections in Hampton Wick are the job of Kingston-Upon-Thames council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. London Fire Brigade covers Hampton Wick. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as St John the Baptist Church of England Junior School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Hampton Wick is Kingston Hospital, about 1.1 miles east.

What happens if it’s left?
A dirty duct is something insurers ask about. Many require cleaning to TR19, and they can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A certificate that covers the ductwork is what they want to see. For a site in Hampton Wick, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Hampton Wick
Which fire authority looks after Hampton Wick?
That is London Fire Brigade. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can parking be tricky for a job in Hampton Wick?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?
Start with the date of the last clean. If it’s overdue, or there isn’t one, a clean is due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Is Hampton Wick in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in Hampton Wick, within the South East and London area we cover.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. It includes readings, photos and any unreachable sections.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, 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.
What the work involves, part by part
Horizontal duct runs
A long flat run can’t be cleaned from one end. Where the gaps between panels are too long, we record what couldn’t be reached and can fit extra panels.
Access panels
Panels have to seal properly once they’re closed so the duct stays tight. We’ll tell you if any panel needs replacing.
