Ductwork Cleaning in Strawberry Hill
Professional ductwork cleaning in and around Strawberry Hill, booked around your opening hours and signed off in writing with pictures.

- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- High readings at a recent grease test
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Strawberry Hill
Each extract duct we take on in Strawberry Hill goes through the full routine: we test the grease first, remove thick deposits by hand and degrease what’s left. Readings are taken again afterwards and pictures go into your report. Common call-outs are for gaps where access panels were never fitted and years of grease along the duct floor, on access panels, multi-storey ducts and attenuators.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. For a kitchen in Strawberry Hill, that normally means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections can’t be reached
- Check readings when the menu changes
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the area around them is cleaned down. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. A change in cooking hours may change the interval under BESA guidance, and grease thickness testing will show it.
What affects the quote in Strawberry Hill
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The scale of the work
- The condition of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- 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
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will typically have a quote within one working day.

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Strawberry Hill
Does London parking affect a job in Strawberry Hill?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Strawberry Hill makes the visit easier to plan. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Which environmental health team covers Strawberry Hill?
That is Richmond-Upon-Thames council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Strawberry Hill. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.

What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do you survey before quoting?

Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
A short duct can be cleaned in a few hours, but long or complex ducts may take several visits. Visits are planned out of hours.

Common problems we fix in Strawberry Hill
Wherever the kitchen is, in Strawberry Hill or elsewhere, the duct fills in the same way: daily cooking hours, the menu and the state of the filters. Under BESA guidance, the minimum interval is 3, 6 or 12 months, by daily cooking hours.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Holy Trinity Church, or anywhere in Strawberry Hill, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Strawberry Hill is no exception.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- We test again, take photos and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
