About ductwork cleaning in Kent

In doctor’s terms, the ductwork is the system’s arteries: diagnose where grease has built up, clear it and confirm the result. Grease readings before and after give you the evidence, alongside before and after photos. The work covers attenuators, vertical risers and multi-storey ducts, and the jobs we see most are a duct nobody has opened in years and an insurer asking for TR19 evidence.

A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct.

Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.

Pricing in Kent

Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Ductwork cleaning across Kent: local notes

From Maidstone, Ashford and Canterbury to its smaller places, Kent has kitchens of every size. Every one gets the same full TR19® clean, from the canopy to the discharge.

Across England, including Kent, the responsible person has a legal duty to assess and reduce fire risk, and each certificate and photo report is a record you can keep in your log book. Near the coast in Kent, salt and damp speed up corrosion in fans, ducts and dampers, which is worth knowing when systems are inspected.

Maidstone: If you run a café or takeaway near Maidstone West station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Philip's Church or elsewhere in Maidstone, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Kent

Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

Why it fails

Damaged or poorly fitted filters let more grease into the duct. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should and it fills faster.

Common reasons sites call us are:

Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
Gaps where access panels were never fitted
Stale grease odours from the duct
Grease pooling at the foot of the riser

How we price ductwork cleaning

The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:

Whether several sites go on one quote
Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Where the site is and how we reach it
Any permits to work or inductions

The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

What we need to know

You do not need the technical terms. Just send:

Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
The postcode and the type of business

We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

What ductwork cleaning can’t fix

Not every problem is solved by ductwork cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:

Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
An extract fan that has stopped working
Undersized or badly laid-out ducts

What your team can do, and what needs us

If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

FAQs for Kent

How much does ductwork cleaning cost?

There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before we start.

What happens to the waste?

Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.

How much notice do you need?

That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.

What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?

When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, you get a TR19 certificate and a photo report. It includes readings, pictures and any unreachable sections.

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.

Will the duct clean disrupt the kitchen?

Only while we’re working, and we work around you. Overnight and weekend work is common, so no service is lost.

What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?

We open each access panel and clean the section it reaches. Heavy grease comes out by hand, and what’s left is degreased, with readings taken before and after.
