Greater London · Ductwork cleaning
Ductwork cleaning in Limmo Peninsula, Greater London
Cleaning of kitchen extract ductwork, horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels for commercial sites in Limmo Peninsula and across Greater London. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. In Limmo Peninsula, as across London, we normally work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Advice
Ductwork cleaning in Limmo Peninsula, done properly
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 photos. We are often asked to deal with a duct nobody has opened in years and a duct clean needed for an insurer, on attenuators, access panels and bends and junctions.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Limmo Peninsula 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.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How the job changes from site to site
Attenuators and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to reduce noise, and their linings can soak up grease. We clean what can be reached and note anything that cannot.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Ducts in taller or shared buildings often run past other occupiers. We plan access with you and the building manager, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what ductwork cleaning won’t do:
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- Sections that can’t be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Limmo Peninsula: your questions answered
Can school kitchens in Limmo Peninsula be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 53 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Limmo Peninsula. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Which environmental health team covers Limmo Peninsula?
Kitchens in Limmo Peninsula are inspected by Newham council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?
BESA guidance sets minimum intervals by daily cooking hours: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate and 12-monthly for light use. Grease readings may show it needs doing sooner.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do you work in Limmo Peninsula?
Yes. Limmo Peninsula is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Grease, kitchens and Limmo Peninsula
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 37 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 14 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Limmo Peninsula. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Limmo Peninsula is covered by London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Luke, or anywhere in Limmo Peninsula, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. For kitchens close to Custom House station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St Luke's Primary School or anywhere near Limmo Peninsula, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Flag drips from the duct right away
Any section of duct we couldn’t reach is listed on the report and why. You can then decide whether to have access panels fitted.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.

What else we do in Limmo Peninsula
What happens if it’s left?
Fire inside a duct is out of sight and out of reach. It can travel through the ductwork to other parts of the building, so cleaning the duct is as important as cleaning the hood. A busy site in Limmo Peninsula builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
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’re happy to quote for all of it.
