Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Streatham Park
Each extract duct we take on in Streatham Park goes through the full routine: readings at set points, heavy grease scraped out by hand, then degreasing to suit the deposit. Readings are taken again afterwards and photos go into your report. Common call-outs are for a duct clean needed for an insurer and fat dripping from the ductwork, on bends and junctions, access panels and attenuators.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. In Streatham Park, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When to call us in Streatham Park
Grease filters that do not seal let fat straight through. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should and it fills faster.
Clients typically contact us when they notice something like this:
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Sections of duct with no access panels
Commuter trade near Streatham station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.
What your quote should include
- What records you will receive afterwards
- What hours they’ll be on site
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether the price is fixed
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Do not switch the extract off early
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Make sure filters are seated properly
The report gives a recommended next clean date, based on the readings and your daily cooking hours, in line with BESA guidance.
Some signs mean the duct needs attention sooner: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- Duct sections that need replacing
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
Flat runs of duct link the canopy to the riser or the outside wall. They collect grease as the air cools and slows, so each section is cleaned through its access panels.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Long ducts in larger buildings can mean several visits. Visits are planned around the building’s hours, out of hours where possible.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Streatham Park
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 41 pubs and bars and about 8 hotels and guest houses in and around Streatham Park, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too. London Fire Brigade covers Streatham Park. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Tooting Bec Hospital (about within half a mile north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Parish Church of St Alban or elsewhere in Streatham Park, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Common questions in Streatham Park
Can parking be tricky for a job in Streatham Park?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Streatham Park?
Streatham Park is in the area of London Fire Brigade. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
Every reachable section is cleaned and the rest recorded. Fitting extra access panels is the usual answer, and we can do that for you.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
The minimum depends on how long the kitchen cooks each day: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings may show it needs doing sooner.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.

The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The times the site is available
- What state the system is in

- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your last certificate, test record or report
