Ductwork cleaning in Norbury, done properly
If the ducts in Norbury haven’t been cleaned for a while, or nobody is sure when they were? A few details about the system are a good start when you call 0345 646 2711 or email us, and a fixed price will follow, normally within one working day. If you have stale grease odours from the duct and high readings at a recent grease test, we can help, from horizontal duct runs, access panels and vertical risers onwards.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. For a kitchen in Norbury, that usually means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, 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 to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
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 records the date, the location and the technician.
Have access panels fitted where sections can’t be reached. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
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.
Norbury kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 17 pubs, bars and clubs and about 9 hotels and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Norbury. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Food hygiene inspections in Norbury are the job of Croydon council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. London jobs normally start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Oswald or anywhere around Norbury, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you cook for passing trade around Norbury station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Kensington Avenue Primary School or anywhere near Norbury, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

FAQs for Norbury
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Norbury?
That is London Fire Brigade. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you work at weekends in Norbury?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Norbury does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What if part of the duct cannot be reached?
Without a way in, a section cannot be cleaned properly. Those parts are listed, and we can install panels so they’re reached next time.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Is Norbury in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Norbury.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, you get a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The report shows readings, pictures and any sections we couldn’t reach.
Why deal with it now?
Grease left in a duct in Norbury hardens over time. Heat and age turn it into a thick, stubborn crust, so the later the clean, the bigger the job. In Norbury, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

How we price ductwork cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How big the system is
- The number of sites or systems
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any previous report or certificate
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
The process
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Norbury needs from us.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
