Greater London · Ductwork cleaning
Duct cleaning in The Hyde
Ductwork cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in The Hyde. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Duct runs that cannot be reached
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Most London sites can’t stop for the day, so work in The Hyde is usually done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- 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.
- 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
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
About our ductwork cleaning in The Hyde
Every duct has its own route. A few metres to an outside wall, or a riser up through the building to a roof fan. The survey traces the route, so we know where to get in and how long it will take. The work covers horizontal duct runs, attenuators and bends and junctions, and people most often call us about years of grease along the duct floor and heavy grease at the base of a riser.
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 The Hyde, that normally means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

The Hyde kitchens: local notes
Look up The Hyde on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 178 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 120 takeaways and sandwich shops in The Hyde and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they cook under a canopy, grease does not stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. Environmental health officers from Brent council inspect food businesses in The Hyde. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The Hyde is covered by London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Commuter trade near Hendon station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. Term dates shape school work: for a school like The Hyde School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What’s near The Hyde
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Moon Under Water pub, Brampton College and West Hendon Playing Fields. There’s a railway station in The Hyde itself: Hendon station.

The countryside around The Hyde includes Parliament Hill and Darland's Lake.
What we’re called out for in The Hyde
A vertical riser can run up several floors. Grease clings to the walls and can run down to the base, where it can pool. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
Look out for any of the following:
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Matthias the Apostle church or anywhere around The Hyde, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How big the system is
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
If you need ductwork cleaning in The Hyde, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something 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.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
The Hyde questions
How do you handle parking and loading in The Hyde?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Working overnight, as we often do in London, normally makes it simpler.
Do you work at weekends in The Hyde?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.

What else we do in The Hyde
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
The report gives a recommended next clean date, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
Some signs mean the duct needs attention sooner: grease leaking from duct joints, smells, or a fan that sounds rough. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
How the job changes from site to site
Access panels
After cleaning, every panel is closed and sealed so the duct stays tight. We’ll tell you if any panel needs replacing.
Vertical risers
Cleaning a riser needs access along its height. Any part that can’t be safely reached is recorded.
