About our ductwork cleaning in Queensbury
Every duct has its own route. Some run a short distance to an outside wall, others climb several floors to the roof. We map the route during the survey and finds every access point before we quote. Typical jobs include a duct nobody has opened in years and thick crusts of old grease along the duct, on horizontal duct runs, access panels and multi-storey ducts.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Queensbury 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Flag drips from the duct right away
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
You will have a recommended date for the next clean, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
Have access panels fitted where sections can’t be reached. It doesn’t stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Queensbury is no exception.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- Post-clean readings and photos go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Questions from Queensbury
Who inspects food businesses in Queensbury?
Kitchens in Queensbury are inspected by Brent council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Queensbury during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 22 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Queensbury. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
What should I send you?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we will ask.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do we have to stop cooking while the ducts are cleaned?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, evenings, overnight or at weekends. Equipment and the extract are switched off while we work.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
We survey the route, test the grease, then open the access panels. Each run and riser is scraped and degreased, then the readings are repeated.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Queensbury
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The size of the system
- The times the site is available
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
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 pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Queensbury
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Kitchen extracts in Queensbury
The FSA’s data shows about 21 pubs, bars and clubs and about 3 hotels and guest houses registered in and around Queensbury, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Queensbury sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In London, kitchens are usually cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier.
Where a hall near All Saints Church, or anywhere in Queensbury, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. School kitchens, at schools like Glebe Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Edgware Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Queensbury, about 1.3 miles north-east.
