Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
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.
How we handle ductwork cleaning in Parsons Green
Between the canopy and the fan runs the ductwork, hidden above ceilings and inside walls. Every horizontal run and vertical riser collects grease along the way and a fire in the duct can spread through the building. We clean it from the inside, through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. Typical jobs include duct runs that can’t be reached and high readings at a recent grease test, across bends and junctions, access panels and attenuators.
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 Parsons Green, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Duct sections that need replacing
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
- An extract fan that has stopped working

Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Parsons Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 806 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 131 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Parsons Green. Where they cook under a canopy, grease does not stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too. In Parsons Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Hammersmith and Fulham council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run a café or takeaway near Imperial Wharf station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. Where a hall near St Dionis, or anywhere in Parsons Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Lady Margaret School or anywhere near Parsons Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Around Parsons Green
Around Parsons Green, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Natural History Museum Library and Archives, Parsons Green (park) and The White Horse pub, among other places. You’ll also find Holy Cross RC School (within half a mile north) and Queensmill School (less than half a mile south-east). The nearest railway station is Imperial Wharf station, roughly 0.7 miles east of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Baynard's Castle (5 miles north-east) and Western Hospital (0.8 miles north). For a walk, there’s WWT London Wetland Centre and Campden Hill.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections cannot be reached
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
The report gives a recommended next clean date, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
Keep the fan on throughout service. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
Why it’s worth doing now in Parsons Green
Fire inside a duct is out of sight and out of reach. It can travel through the ductwork to other parts of the building, so cleaning the duct is as important as cleaning the hood. A building in Parsons Green may have flats or offices above and alongside, and a fault in the system can affect them too.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Parsons Green
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Parsons Green?
That is London Fire Brigade. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you work overnight in Parsons Green?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
How the job changes from site to site
Bends and transitions
The join where the canopy meets the duct is a common hotspot. We reach it from the plenum side where possible.
Attenuators and discharge
The discharge is where the duct ends and air leaves the building. Grease can collect there and stain the area around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Parsons Green is normally out of hours.
- 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.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- Readings and photos are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear loose items from the work area

We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
