How we handle ductwork cleaning in Temple Mills
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. A flare-up drawn up from the range can light it, carrying a fire along the duct and into rooms far from the kitchen. Cleaning the duct takes that fuel away. Common call-outs are for a duct clean needed for an insurer and duct runs with no cleaning record, across attenuators, multi-storey ducts and horizontal duct runs.
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 Temple Mills, that usually means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Temple Mills
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- How big the system is
- The condition of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The postcode and the type of business
- Problems your staff have spotted
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

More services for Temple Mills
Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of a flat duct run. Thick deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
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.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Common questions in Temple Mills
Can a school canteen extract in Temple Mills be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 41 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Temple Mills. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you work in Temple Mills outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Temple Mills needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
Through access panels along the duct. Thick deposits are removed by hand before degreasing, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
Every clean comes with a photo report, plus a TR19 certificate when the whole system is cleaned. Keep both in the maintenance log.
Is Temple Mills in your area?
Yes. Temple Mills is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
What if part of the duct cannot be reached?
Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report, in line with TR19. New panels can be fitted to reach them in future.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, we fit access panels where the duct needs them. It means more of the duct can be cleaned next time, and the report will show where they’re needed.
The process
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Before any visit in Temple Mills, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- Post-clean readings and photos go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Temple Mills kitchens: local notes
There are about 437 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 175 takeaways in Temple Mills and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, grease does not stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. Temple Mills sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. London jobs usually start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Temple Mills is Queen Mary's Hospital for the East End, about 1 mile south-east. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Chobham Academy or anywhere near Temple Mills, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. For kitchens close to Stratford International station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
Temple Mills is about 1 mile north-west of Stratford, in Greater London. We provide ductwork cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in Temple Mills and the rest of Greater London. Across Greater London, we cover 764 places, Temple Mills among them.
Work in E20, E15 and E9 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. Whether your site is on Major Road, Forbes Lane and Keirin Road or anywhere close by, we can help.

Local landmarks in Temple Mills

There’s a railway station in Temple Mills itself: Stratford International station. Other landmarks nearby include V&A East (0.6 miles south) and Westfield Stratford City (less than half a mile south-east). Green spaces nearby include Tower Hill and Hollow Pond.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Why deal with it now?
TR19® isn’t law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. The Fire Safety Order 2005 makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the duct is part of that. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
