Wimbledon Park ductwork cleaning
Ductwork cleaning for Wimbledon Park and the surrounding area: diagnosis first, then a fixed quote, the work and a report with pictures. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Do not switch the extract off early
Access panels are closed and sealed back up after cleaning, and the surrounding area is left clean. Waste grease and water are taken away.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Wimbledon Park
Duct cleaning is the hardest part of an extract clean, and the part most often skipped. Sections with no way in can go uncleaned for years. We open up every reachable section and record any we cannot reach, so you know exactly where you stand. The work covers attenuators, bends and junctions and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are a rancid smell from the extract duct and a duct clean needed for an insurer.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. For a kitchen in Wimbledon Park, that typically means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Why deal with it now?
BESA guidance says grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans. A reading of 500 microns or more at any point means a spot clean straight away. Leaving the duct makes those limits harder to keep to. Planning ahead in Wimbledon Park lets you pick a quiet night rather than lose a busy one.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Wimbledon Park questions
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Wimbledon Park?
Kitchens in Wimbledon Park are inspected by Wandsworth council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can school kitchens in Wimbledon Park be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 23 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Wimbledon Park, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Can you quote from photos?
In many cases, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
The process
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access, and we clear up before we go. For a job in Wimbledon Park, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting 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 photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A duct that is too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- A damper stuck open in the duct
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before booking.

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The times the site is available
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any previous report or certificate
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos 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. We typically come back within one working day.

What the work involves, part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Flat runs of duct link the canopy to the riser or the outside wall. Grease drops out of the slowing air along them, so each section is cleaned through its access panels.
Bends and transitions
Bends, elbows and changes of size are where grease collects most. The air slows and drops its load, so we clean these points carefully.
Grease, kitchens and Wimbledon Park
The Food Standards Agency lists about 38 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 5 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses across Wimbledon Park and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. London jobs normally start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first. Environmental health officers from Wandsworth council inspect food businesses in Wimbledon Park. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
School kitchens, at schools like Albemarle Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Where a hall near Church of St Luke, or anywhere in Wimbledon Park, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Wimbledon Park is Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability, about 1.1 miles north.
