Managing agents and facilities teams in Beal's Green

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

How we handle ductwork cleaning in Beal's Green

Many ducts were installed with too few access doors. TR19 calls for any section we couldn’t reach to be recorded, and we can fit new access panels so it’s cleaned next time. An honest report beats a guess. The work covers access panels, vertical risers and multi-storey ducts, and people most often call us about proof of duct cleaning for the insurer and thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct.

In a village or hamlet like Beal's Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.

A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

The process

A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the ductwork cleaning, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Somewhere like Beal's Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.

  1. We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
  2. Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
  3. We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
  4. Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
  5. We test again, take pictures and note any part that couldn’t be reached.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking and loading
  • Clear the space around the work
  • Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Getting a quote

We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:

  • Make sure filters are seated properly
  • Leave a way through to the access panels
  • Run the extract fan throughout service
  • Check readings when the menu changes

Any section of duct we couldn’t reach is listed on the report, with the reason. We can fit access panels so those sections are cleaned next time.

Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.

Leave it or put it right?

Dealing with the ductwork in Beal's Green now beats dealing with it after a problem. It takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct, done out of hours so the kitchen keeps cooking. If the system at a site near Beal's Green fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.

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 are unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

Often, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.

How long does it take to clean extract ducts?

Duct length, access and grease levels all affect it. Typically it takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers.

What information do you need?

The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.

What happens if you cannot reach some of it?

What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?

The minimum depends on how long the kitchen cooks each day: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings may show it needs doing sooner.

What ductwork cleaning looks like in Beal's Green

Food Standards Agency data counts about 6 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Beal's Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. In Beal's Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Tunbridge Wells council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Beal's Green is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.

Bursars and site managers at schools such as Marlborough House School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Ticehurst House Hospital is the nearest hospital to Beal's Green, about 4.8 miles west.

Different parts, different methods

Bends and transitions

Bends, elbows and changes of size are where grease collects most. The air slows and drops its load, so these points get extra attention.

Access panels

Every section of duct is cleaned through an access panel. Where there are none, those sections cannot be cleaned, and TR19 expects them to be recorded.

Do you need ductwork cleaning in Beal's Green?

Damaged or poorly fitted filters let more grease into the duct. The duct then takes grease that the filters should have stopped, and build-up speeds up.

Any of these means the system needs a check-up:

  • Duct runs that cannot be reached
  • A duct clean needed for an insurer
  • Fat dripping from the ductwork
  • A duct nobody has opened in years

A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Beal's Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What your quote should include

  • How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
  • What hours they’ll be on site
  • Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
  • How they set the interval to the next visit
