Duct cleaning in Strand-on-the-Green
Ductwork cleaning across Strand-on-the-Green and nearby, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and photos.
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
What we do, step by step
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Strand-on-the-Green.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

About our ductwork cleaning in Strand-on-the-Green
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. Flames pulled in from the cooking line can ignite it, and fire can then run along the ductwork to other parts of the building. Removing it is the whole point. The work covers vertical risers, bends and junctions and horizontal duct runs, and the jobs we see most are hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs and a duct nobody has opened in years.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Strand-on-the-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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Leave it or put it right?
Fire inside a duct is out of sight and out of reach. The duct can carry it to rooms, floors or roof spaces well away from the kitchen, so cleaning the duct is as important as cleaning the hood. For a site in Strand-on-the-Green, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
No two sites are the same, 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 you get with us
- We’re fully insured
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
- Each visit written up, with pictures
- Every job surveyed first

Part by part
Bends and transitions
Bends, elbows and changes of size are where grease collects most. Slowing air leaves grease behind, so these points get extra attention.
Attenuators and discharge
At the end of the duct is the discharge. Grease can collect there and stain the area around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Strand-on-the-Green
Can the work in Strand-on-the-Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Strand-on-the-Green keeps running as normal. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Strand-on-the-Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Strand-on-the-Green are carried out by Richmond-Upon-Thames council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What happens if there aren’t enough access panels?
Without a way in, a section cannot be cleaned properly. We record those sections on the report and can fit access panels.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
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 about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Do you install duct access panels?
Yes, we do. The survey or clean shows where sections couldn’t be reached, and we can fit them so those sections are cleaned in future.
What affects the quote in Strand-on-the-Green
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The size of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections cannot be reached
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
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.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Strand-on-the-Green
The Food Standards Agency lists about 65 pubs, bars and clubs and about 10 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Strand-on-the-Green. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. In Strand-on-the-Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Richmond-Upon-Thames council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. In London, kitchens are normally cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Strand-on-the-Green Infant and Nursery School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A hospital like Barnes Hospital, about 1.5 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Where a hall near St Paul's Church, or anywhere in Strand-on-the-Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
