About our ductwork cleaning in North Harrow
We have been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, our duct cleaning is done to BESA TR19® Grease, and our certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Common call-outs are for fat dripping from the ductwork and high readings at a recent grease test, on attenuators, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in North Harrow is normally done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in North Harrow.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in North Harrow
How do you handle parking and loading in North Harrow?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
Who is the fire and rescue service for North Harrow?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers North Harrow. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
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.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the pictures show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Why act early in North Harrow
Grease narrows the duct and slows the air. The fan works harder, the kitchen gets hotter and smoke lingers at the canopy and grease can drip from duct joints. In North Harrow, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- Full insurance on every job
- A written report with pictures after each visit
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what ductwork cleaning won’t do:
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- An extract fan that has stopped working
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Multi-storey ducts
- Horizontal duct runs
- Bends and junctions
- Vertical risers
- Access panels
- Attenuators
What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Leave a way through to the access panels
Any section of duct we couldn’t reach is listed on the report, with the reason. We can fit access panels so those sections are cleaned next time.
Have access panels fitted where sections can’t be reached. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
