- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
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 few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Rush Green is usually out of hours.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear the space around the work

About our ductwork cleaning in Rush Green
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. A flare-up drawn up from the range can light it, and fire can then run along the ductwork to other parts of the building. Cleaning the duct takes that fuel away. The work covers bends and junctions, multi-storey ducts and vertical risers, and people most often call us about stale grease odours from the duct and years of grease along the duct floor.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Rush Green 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What else we do in Rush Green
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Parking and loading at the site
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The size of the system
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Run the extract fan throughout service
After the clean, the same points are tested again, giving you before and after readings. Photos of each section go alongside them.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Rush Green
Does London parking affect a job in Rush Green?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Rush Green, and about any building rules on loading. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
Do you work at weekends in Rush Green?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Rush Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
How often should kitchen ducts be cleaned?
It depends mostly on daily cooking hours. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means at least every 3 months, while lighter use can go longer.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What happens if there are not enough access panels?
We clean everything we can reach and record what we cannot. Extra panels can be installed, and we can do that for you.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
What staff can safely do
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.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Rush Green
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease clings to the walls and can run down to the base as liquid grease runs down. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
If you run a café or takeaway near Romford station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
Comparing quotes
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
What happens if it’s left?
A partly blocked duct slows the airflow. The fan works harder, the kitchen gets hotter and smoke lingers at the canopy, and grease may start to leak from joints. In Rush Green, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.
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 we start.

Grease, kitchens and Rush Green
Food Standards Agency records include about 26 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 6 hotels and B&Bs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Rush Green. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. London jobs normally start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first. The fire and rescue service for Rush Green is London Fire Brigade. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Where a hall near St Augustine of Canterbury Church, or anywhere in Rush Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Rush Green is Queen's Hospital, about under half a mile north-east.

Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
The underside of a horizontal duct collects the most grease. Thick deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
Attenuators and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, quieten the extract, and their linings can soak up grease. We clean what can be reached and note anything that can’t.
