Questions from Lampton
Which fire authority looks after Lampton?
Lampton is in the area of 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 school kitchens in Lampton be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 47 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Lampton. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before we start.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report, in line with TR19. We can fit new access panels so they’re cleaned next time.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Ductwork cleaning in Lampton
Once air leaves the canopy, it travels through ductwork that most people never see. Every horizontal run and vertical riser collects grease along the way, and that is where a kitchen fire can travel. Our ductwork cleaning reaches inside the runs and risers through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. The work covers horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and attenuators, and the jobs we see most are thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct and readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test.
In a London area like Lampton, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What else we do in Lampton
The process
Your trading hours come first. 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 a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. If your building in Lampton has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- We test again, take photos and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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, and that is where we come in.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Lampton and across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Kitchen extracts in Lampton
The Food Standards Agency lists about 31 pubs, bars and clubs and about 11 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Lampton. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service. In Lampton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Hounslow council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Hounslow Hospital is the nearest hospital to Lampton, about 0.8 miles south-west. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Luke or elsewhere in Lampton, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Lampton is about 2 miles north-west of Twickenham, in Greater London.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Fire dampers that don’t close (they need testing and remedials)
- 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 email photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Multi-storey ducts
- Horizontal duct runs
- Bends and junctions
- Access panels
- Attenuators
- Vertical risers
Common problems we fix in Lampton
Wherever the kitchen is, in Lampton or elsewhere, the duct fills in the same way: 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:
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
A kitchen near Hounslow station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

How we price ductwork cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition of the system
- The size of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Why act early in Lampton
Fire inside a duct is out of sight and out of reach. The duct can carry it to rooms, floors or roof spaces well away from the kitchen, which is why the duct matters as much as the canopy. Choosing the date yourself beats having a fault choose it for you.
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.
