Ductwork Cleaning in Roehampton
For cleaning of kitchen extract ductwork, horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels in Roehampton, one call is all it takes, from survey to sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
What we’re called out for in Roehampton
Slow air leaves the most grease behind. Long horizontal runs, bends, changes in size and the foot of a riser all collect more, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
Look out for any of the following:
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Margaret's Church or anywhere around Roehampton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What your quote should include
- What hours they’ll be on site
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
About our ductwork cleaning in Roehampton
In doctor’s terms, the ductwork is the system’s arteries: find the blockages, clear them, then check the flow is right. Grease readings before and after give you the evidence, alongside before and after photos. Common call-outs are for duct runs that can’t be reached and grease pooling at the foot of the riser, on bends and junctions, horizontal duct runs and access panels.
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 Roehampton, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Kitchen extracts in Roehampton
Look up Roehampton on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 244 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 42 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Roehampton. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. Roehampton is covered by London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. London jobs normally start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Queen Mary's Hospital (about less than half a mile west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. School kitchens, at schools like Granard Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Expect the work in Roehampton to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Advice
Nearby places to Roehampton
Other services in Roehampton
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Don’t switch the extract off early
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
After the clean, the same points are tested again, giving you before and after readings. Before and after pictures sit next to the numbers.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
How the job changes from site to site
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a shared building, the duct links the kitchen to other spaces, so the responsible person has more reason to keep it clean. Your certificate and report give building managers the record they need.
Access panels
Extra panels can be installed where there are gaps, so the next clean reaches more of the system. We’ll recommend where they should go.
Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Roehampton
Can you work in Roehampton outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Roehampton needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Is parking a problem for work in Roehampton?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Roehampton, and about any building rules on loading. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What is 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.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What affects the quote in Roehampton
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
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 will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Leave it or put it right?
Old grease in a duct for a kitchen in Roehampton does not stay soft. It bakes into a hard layer that takes far longer to remove, so the later the clean, the bigger the job. London sites work long hours, and the longer a job is left, the bigger it gets.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
