Ductwork cleaning in Roundshaw
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? Tell us about the system when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and a fixed price will follow, normally within one working day. If you are dealing with high readings at a recent grease test and thick crusts of old grease along the duct, we can put it right.
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. For a kitchen in Roundshaw, that usually means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
How we price ductwork cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The condition of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Make sure filters are seated properly
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, so the report shows the before and after figures. Photos of each section go alongside them.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
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.
Horizontal duct runs
Horizontal runs carry the extract along ceilings and through voids. They collect grease as the air cools and slows, and we clean them section by section through access panels.
How it works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. For a job in Roundshaw, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Ductwork cleaning around Roundshaw
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 17 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 6 hotels and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Roundshaw. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Food hygiene inspections in Roundshaw are the job of Sutton council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Roundshaw sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St. Paul's or elsewhere in Roundshaw, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you cook for passing trade around Wallington station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Wallington Primary Academy tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
