Custom House: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for work in Custom House?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Custom House?
Food hygiene inspections in Custom House are carried out by Newham council. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Can you clean outside our opening hours?
It’s timed for when the kitchen is not cooking. We clean outside service times, and the kitchen is ready to cook when we leave.
Is Custom House in your area?
Yes. Custom House is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
Kitchen deep cleaning in Custom House
Think of a deep clean as a full check-up for the kitchen. We look in the places daily cleaning misses and leave the kitchen ready to cook. It’s a fresh start that’s easier to keep on top of. If you have a whole-kitchen clean while the extract is cleaned and cooking equipment caked in carbon, we can put it right, from fryers and grills, behind and under equipment and stainless steel surfaces onwards.
London’s sewers are known for fatbergs, built up from fat, oil and grease washed down drains. A grease trap that is emptied and cleaned regularly keeps fat out of the drains.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How we price kitchen deep cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The times the site is available
- How big the system is
- The number of sites or systems
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a full shift for most kitchens, longer for a large one. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Custom House needs from us.

What we are called out for in Custom House
Kitchens in Custom House, as anywhere, take a lot of punishment. Spills, splashes, steam and heat all leave their mark over time.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit
- Grease built up on walls and ceilings
- Grime in corners that pests could exploit
- A kitchen clean booked with the extract clean
If you serve passing trade near Custom House station, a grease trap on a regular schedule keeps the drains running through busy weeks.

Other services in Custom House
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What happens if it’s left?
A greasy kitchen is a harder place to work. Greasy floors are a slip risk and sticky surfaces slow everyone down and more tiring. Deep cleaning gives the team a better place to work. A booked night’s work in Custom House costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Why choose Duct Doctor in Custom House
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
- Fully insured
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

Pub and hotel kitchens get the same build-up behind equipment and in the grease trap as any other. In London, deep cleans and grease trap work are typically done overnight, so the kitchen opens as normal the next day.
