Peckham ductwork cleaning
We cover Peckham for ductwork cleaning. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports on every job.
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Peckham
No two duct runs are the same, in Peckham or anywhere else. A few metres to an outside wall, or a riser up through the building to a roof fan. The survey traces the route and finds every access point before we quote. Common call-outs are for sections of duct with no access panels and hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs, across bends and junctions, vertical risers and attenuators.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Peckham is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
After the clean, the same points are tested again, so the report shows the before and after figures. Photos of each section go alongside them.
Keep the fan on throughout service. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.

Common questions in Peckham
Which fire authority looks after Peckham?
Fire safety enforcement in Peckham is handled by 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.
Is parking a problem for work in Peckham?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before work begins.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
Without a way in, a section can’t be cleaned properly. We record those sections on the report and can fit access panels.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What affects the quote in Peckham
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How big the system is
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The number of sites or systems
- Site rules, permits and inductions
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. In Peckham, as across London, we typically work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- 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.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Get a fixed quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

What the work involves, part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Flat runs of duct link the canopy to the riser or the outside wall. They collect grease as the air cools and slows, so each section is cleaned through its access panels.
Access panels
We can fit new access panels where the duct needs them, making future cleans more complete. We’ll recommend where they should go.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Peckham
There are about 447 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 344 sandwich bars and takeaways across Peckham and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever those kitchens cook under a canopy, the horizontal runs and risers need cleaning as well as the hood. In Peckham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Southwark council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. London Fire Brigade covers Peckham. 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 a café or takeaway near Queens Road Peckham station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near All Saints Church, or anywhere in Peckham, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

The countryside around Peckham includes St. James's Park Lake and Knight's Hill.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Peckham?
A duct with too few access doors can’t be fully cleaned. Sections between panels go uncleaned, sometimes since the system was installed, and the grease there keeps building out of sight.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- High readings at a recent grease test
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Southwark Adult Education Institute about under half a mile east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
