Ductwork Cleaning in Newyears Green
For ductwork cleaning in Newyears Green, one call is all it takes, from survey to sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- High readings at a recent grease test
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Ductwork cleaning in Newyears Green
We treat ductwork like a doctor treats arteries: find the blockages, clear them, then check the flow is right. Readings taken before and after show the difference, alongside before and after pictures. We are often asked to deal with grease seeping out of the duct seams and proof of duct cleaning for the insurer, across horizontal duct runs, attenuators and bends and junctions.
In a small place like Newyears Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Leave it or put it right?
A partly blocked duct slows the airflow. The fan works harder, the kitchen gets hotter and smoke lingers at the canopy, and grease may start to leak from joints. Somewhere as small as Newyears Green, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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 doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Newyears Green.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- We test again, take pictures and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear the space around the work
How to get a quote
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

What else we do in Newyears Green
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Newyears Green?
Grease filters that do not seal let fat straight through. The duct then takes grease that the filters should have stopped, and build-up speeds up.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Harefield Hospital about 2.1 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
What your quote should include
- Proof of insurance
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
Ductwork cleaning in Newyears Green: the local picture
There are about 12 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 5 takeaways and sandwich shops in Newyears Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen that cooks under a canopy sends grease-laden air into a duct, where it cools and settles. It’s Hillingdon council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Newyears Green. 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. Newyears Green sits within the area of Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Ickenham Hall is about 1.5 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Whiteheath Infant and Nursery School or anywhere near Newyears Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Newyears Green: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Newyears Green?
That is Hillingdon council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Newyears Green. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can school kitchens in Newyears Green be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Newyears Green, the Food Standards Agency lists about 8 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Do you work in Newyears Green?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Newyears Green included.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
We get into the duct through its access panels. Thick deposits are removed by hand before degreasing, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the surrounding area is left clean. Waste grease and water are taken away.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Fire dampers that don’t close (they need testing and remedials)
- Sections that cannot be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
