How we handle ductwork cleaning in New Eltham
We have been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and our certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Typical jobs include stale grease odours from the duct and ductwork that has never been cleaned, across bends and junctions, multi-storey ducts and vertical risers.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. In New Eltham, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Do not switch the extract off early
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Leave a way through to the access panels
File the paperwork in the maintenance log. It’s the evidence an insurer or inspector may ask for, and the pictures make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
New Eltham kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 121 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 44 takeaways and sandwich shops across New Eltham and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each kitchen that cooks under a canopy sends grease-laden air into a duct, where it cools and settles. The fire and rescue service for New Eltham is London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s Greenwich council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in New Eltham. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Wyborne Primary School or anywhere near New Eltham, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to New Eltham is Eltham Community Hospital, about 1.1 miles north-west.

Do you need ductwork cleaning in New Eltham?
A greasy duct is a fire path, in New Eltham as anywhere. Once it lights, fire can spread along the duct and into other areas, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near All Saints Church or elsewhere in New Eltham, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in New Eltham.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Managing agents and facilities teams in New Eltham
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in New Eltham and across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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.
What affects the quote in New Eltham
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition we find in the survey
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Your questions about ductwork cleaning in New Eltham
Can you work in New Eltham outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in New Eltham can fit around your hours. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Which environmental health team covers New Eltham?
In New Eltham, it’s Greenwich council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
We get into the duct through its access panels. Thick deposits are removed by hand before degreasing, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
