In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Kitchen deep cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Lewisham
Our deep cleans in Lewisham cover kitchens of all kinds, from small takeaways to large production kitchens. The scope is agreed before work begins, and you get a fixed quote. If you have a kitchen that needs a clean start and grime behind and under cooking equipment, we can help.
Fat, oil and grease poured down drains helps form fatbergs, and London’s sewers have made the news for them more than once. A grease trap that is emptied and cleaned regularly keeps fat out of the drains.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What affects the cost of kitchen deep cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The scale of the work
- What state the system is in
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What happens if it’s left?
For kitchens in Lewisham, a deep clean can be planned around quiet periods. Waiting for a problem means doing it in a hurry at the worst possible time. Choosing the date yourself beats having a fault choose it for you.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

What we’re called out for in Lewisham
Cooking releases grease with every service. The canopy catches a lot of it but the rest lands on nearby surfaces. In time, it forms a tacky film that daily cleaning struggles with.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Signs of pests drawn by food debris
- Build-up behind fryers and ovens
- Grease stains on walls near the cooking line
- A kitchen getting ready for an environmental health visit
University Hospital Lewisham, about 0.6 miles south-west, is the nearest hospital to Lewisham; healthcare kitchens can’t stop cooking, so deep cleans are worked around meal times.

Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
