How we handle ductwork cleaning in Little London
In doctor’s terms, the ductwork is the system’s arteries: find the blockages, clear them, then check the flow is right. Readings taken before and after show the difference, alongside before and after photos. The work covers vertical risers, access panels and attenuators, and the jobs we see most are proof of duct cleaning for the insurer and grease leaking from duct joints.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Questions from Little London
Will you come out to Little London?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Little London included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can the work in Little London be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Little London can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Little London run smoothly.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Before we arrive

Advice

What else we do in Little London
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Check readings when the menu changes
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the area around them is cleaned down. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Little London?
Many ducts don’t have enough access panels. Stretches with no way in may never have been touched, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
What we are most often called out for:
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
A hospital like Thame Community Hospital, about 5.9 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
