How we handle ductwork cleaning in Norbiton
Each extract duct we take on in Norbiton 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. The work covers access panels, attenuators and horizontal duct runs, and people most often call us about proof of duct cleaning for the insurer and thick crusts of old grease along the duct.
Kitchens in Norbiton, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Norbiton kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 54 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 7 hotels and guest houses in Norbiton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Fire safety in Norbiton falls to London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Kingston Hospital (about within half a mile north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you run a café or takeaway near Norbiton station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

Common problems we fix in Norbiton
Damaged or poorly fitted filters let more grease into the duct. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should and it fills faster.
Clients usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter or anywhere around Norbiton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Before you book anyone
- Proof of insurance
- Whether a survey comes first
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the quote shows VAT
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

How we price ductwork cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The times the site is available
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
If you need ductwork cleaning in Norbiton, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the ductwork cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Expect the work in Norbiton to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- 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.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Get a fixed quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Norbiton questions
Do you work overnight in Norbiton?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What do you need to know about parking in Norbiton?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. If the building has a loading slot system, we’ll book into it.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
Signs include grease dripping from joints, smells and a fan working harder, but the only sure way is to measure. A WFTT or DTT reading gives a clear answer.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Why act early in Norbiton
TR19® isn’t law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. The Fire Safety Order 2005 makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. A busy site in Norbiton builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What you get with us
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- We diagnose before we treat
- Trading since 2009
- A fixed price before any work starts
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
