Southfields: your questions answered
Can you work in Southfields outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Southfields keeps running as normal. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Is parking a problem for work in Southfields?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
Drips, smells and weak extraction are clues, but the only sure way is to measure. A WFTT or DTT reading gives a clear answer.
Do you cover Southfields?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Southfields.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
We survey the route, test the grease, then open the access panels. Each run and riser is scraped and degreased, and test again when we’re done.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Ductwork cleaning in Southfields
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? Tell us about the system when you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and a fixed price will follow, typically within one working day. Typical jobs include a grease test showing the duct is overdue and grease leaking from duct joints, on access panels, horizontal duct runs and bends and junctions.
In a London area like Southfields, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What else we do in Southfields
Different parts, different methods
Attenuators and discharge
Near the discharge, the air has cooled the most, so it can collect more grease than expected. We include it in the clean and the readings.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A fire in a duct in a shared building can affect far more than one kitchen, which makes keeping it clean all the more important. Your certificate and report give building managers the record they need.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Southfields
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- What state the system is in
- How many systems or sites are involved
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
Keep the certificate and report with the fire risk assessment. An insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask to see it, and the pictures make the duct’s condition easy to see.
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.
Why deal with it now?
There’s no law that names TR19. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the duct is part of that. In Southfields, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.

The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. If your building in Southfields has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about parking and loading

Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Southfields kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 47 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Southfields. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. London jobs typically start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first. It’s Wandsworth council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Southfields. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you cook for passing trade around Earlsfield station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability about 1 mile west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Floreat Wandsworth Primary School or anywhere near Southfields, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
