Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Motspur Park
Each extract duct we take on in Motspur Park goes through the full routine: readings at set points, heavy grease scraped out by hand, then degreasing to suit the deposit. Readings are taken again afterwards and photos go into your report. We are often asked to deal with a duct clean needed for an insurer and ductwork that has never been cleaned, across bends and junctions, multi-storey ducts and attenuators.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. In Motspur Park, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Ductwork cleaning in Motspur Park: the local picture
There are about 137 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 32 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Motspur Park, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected. Food hygiene inspections in Motspur Park are the job of Kingston-Upon-Thames council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
For schools such as St Matthew's CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Christ Church New Malden or elsewhere in Motspur Park, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Motspur Park.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

How the job changes from site to site
Bends and transitions
A bend can hold far more grease than a straight run of the same length. We clean it back by hand and with degreaser, and readings are taken there before and after.
Attenuators and discharge
The last section of duct before the discharge is often the coolest, so it can collect more grease than expected. We include it in the clean and the readings.
Questions from Motspur Park
Can you work in Motspur Park outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Motspur Park keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Which fire authority looks after Motspur Park?
Fire safety enforcement in Motspur Park is handled by 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.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, 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.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, as part of our fits and repairs work. We place them where they help most, and we will recommend where.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
Readings, photos and, for a full clean, a TR19 certificate. The report says when the next clean is due.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
Why deal with it now?
A dirty duct is something insurers ask about. Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and a claim may be refused or reduced without evidence. A certificate that covers the ductwork is what they want to see. A building in Motspur Park may have flats or offices above and alongside, and a fault in the system can affect them too.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Common problems we fix in Motspur Park
Grease settles fastest where the air slows down. Long horizontal runs, bends, changes in size and the foot of a riser all collect more, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Stale grease odours from the duct
If you run a café or takeaway near New Malden station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
What your quote should include
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- When the next visit should be, and why
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Motspur Park
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any previous report or certificate
- The postcode and the type of business
Need a price for ductwork cleaning? Please give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with a few details about the site. We will talk you through the work and send you a fixed quote before anything is booked.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It shows when and where the clean was done and by whom.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
