Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Seven Kings
We have been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and our certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. We are often asked to deal with fat dripping from the ductwork and years of grease along the duct floor, across vertical risers, attenuators and bends and junctions.
In a London area like Seven Kings, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Seven Kings
How do you handle parking and loading in Seven Kings?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Seven Kings makes the visit easier to plan. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
Can you come to Seven Kings after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Seven Kings needn’t be disturbed. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The size of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- A single visit or a regular plan
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
When to call us in Seven Kings
A greasy duct is a fire path, in Seven Kings as anywhere. Once it lights, fire can spread along the duct and into other areas, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St John the Evangelist, or anywhere in Seven Kings, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Questions to ask before you book
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Whether the figure could change on the day
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Most London sites can’t stop for the day, so work in Seven Kings is typically done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- 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.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- Post-clean readings and photos go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Ductwork cleaning around Seven Kings
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 16 pubs and bars and about 4 hotels and B&Bs in Seven Kings and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Kitchens in Seven Kings get their food hygiene inspections from Redbridge council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. London jobs typically start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.

Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
Keep the certificate and report with the fire risk assessment. It’s the evidence an insurer or inspector may ask for, and the pictures make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
