About our ductwork cleaning in Vanbrugh Park Estate
The ductwork is where an extract clean is won or lost. Sections with no way in can go uncleaned for years. Each section we can reach is cleaned, and any we can’t is written down, so you know exactly where you stand. Common call-outs are for duct runs with no cleaning record and smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork, on bends and junctions, multi-storey ducts and vertical risers.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Vanbrugh Park Estate is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Ductwork cleaning around Vanbrugh Park Estate
Food Standards Agency records include about 59 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 7 hotels and guest houses in and around Vanbrugh Park Estate, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service. Environmental health officers from Greenwich council inspect food businesses in Vanbrugh Park Estate. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St John the Evangelist's Church, or anywhere in Vanbrugh Park Estate, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. A kitchen near Maze Hill station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Wildwood Montessori School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Vanbrugh Park Estate: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for Vanbrugh Park Estate?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Vanbrugh Park Estate. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you work at weekends in Vanbrugh Park Estate?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Vanbrugh Park Estate needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
What happens if there are not enough access panels?
Sections out of reach are written down on the report, in line with TR19. New panels can be fitted to reach them in future.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. It includes readings, photos and any unreachable sections.
Why act early in Vanbrugh Park Estate
A dirty duct is something insurers ask about. Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and a claim may be refused or reduced without evidence. Your certificate and photo report show the ducts were cleaned. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Why Vanbrugh Park Estate businesses choose us
- We diagnose before we treat

What a clean won’t put right
Ductwork cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It will not put right:
- Fire dampers that do not close (they need testing and remedials)
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Multi-storey ducts
- Attenuators
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Bends and junctions
- Access panels
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
After the clean, the same points are tested again, giving you before and after readings. Before and after photos sit next to the numbers.
Have access panels fitted where sections cannot be reached. It doesn’t stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.

The process
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 the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Vanbrugh Park Estate is no exception.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- Post-clean readings and photos go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.

How the job changes from site to site
Access panels
Every section of duct is cleaned through an access panel. Without them, parts of the duct can’t be reached and the report has to say so.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of a flat duct run. We scrape out the heavy layer first, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
