How we handle ductwork cleaning in Holland Park
We treat ductwork like a doctor treats arteries: diagnose where grease has built up, clear it and confirm the result. Readings taken before and after show the difference, alongside before and after pictures. The work covers horizontal duct runs, attenuators and vertical risers, and common reasons people get in touch are an insurer asking for TR19 evidence and a duct nobody has opened in years.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Holland Park is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Holland Park.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- Post-clean readings and photos go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

What happens if it’s left?
Grease left in a duct in Holland Park hardens over time. Heat and age turn it into a thick, stubborn crust, so the later the clean, the bigger the job. In Holland Park, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.

Common problems we fix in Holland Park
Air cools as it moves away from the canopy. Cooling air drops its grease onto the inside of the duct, which is why ducts go on gathering grease well beyond the filters.
Look out for these warning signs:
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
Commuter trade near Kensington Olympia station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

Holland Park questions
Can parking be tricky for a job in Holland Park?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit normally gets round them.
Can school kitchens in Holland Park be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 84 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Holland Park. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Do you cover Holland Park?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Holland Park included.
Can you price the work without visiting?
In many cases, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Holland Park?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before work begins.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What happens if there aren’t enough access panels?
Any section we cannot reach is recorded on the report, in line with TR19. We can fit new access panels so they’re cleaned next time.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Leave a way through to the access panels
File the paperwork in the maintenance log. An insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask to see it, and the photos make the duct’s condition easy to see.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
Not every problem is solved by ductwork cleaning, and we’ll tell you before we start. It doesn’t solve:
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
- An extract fan that has stopped working
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Ductwork cleaning in Holland Park: the local picture
The FSA’s data shows about 134 pubs and bars and about 136 hotels and B&Bs registered within about 1.5 miles of central Holland Park. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. In Holland Park, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Hammersmith and Fulham council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
Where a hall near Church of St George, or anywhere in Holland Park, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Holland Park School or anywhere near Holland Park, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Holland Park
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
