Ductwork cleaning in Bexon, done properly
Every duct has its own route. Some run a short distance to an outside wall, others climb several floors to the roof. The survey traces the route and finds every access point before we quote. The work covers access panels, attenuators and bends and junctions, and people most often call us about stale grease odours from the duct and fat dripping from the ductwork.
In a small place like Bexon, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Kitchen extracts in Bexon
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Bexon. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Fire safety in Bexon falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In Bexon, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Swale council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St John the Baptist, or anywhere in Bexon, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Near you in Bexon
Around Bexon, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Cromers Wood and Fulston Manor School and the streets around them. Bexon’s nearest station is Sittingbourne station, roughly 2.9 miles north of the centre. Nearby you will also find Sittingbourne Heritage Museum (2.8 miles north-east) and Bayford Court (3.1 miles north-east).
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Run the extract fan throughout service
Access panels are closed and sealed back up after cleaning, and the surrounding area is left clean. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
When to call us in Bexon
Wherever the kitchen is, in Bexon or elsewhere, the duct fills in the same way: daily cooking hours, the menu and the state of the filters. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily use.
Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Bredgar Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Questions to ask before booking
- When the next visit should be, and why
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- What insurance they carry
- What records you’ll receive afterwards

Common questions in Bexon
Can school kitchens in Bexon be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Bexon. You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Can you get to a site in Bexon?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Bexon included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
When is the ductwork cleaned?
Out of hours, at a time that suits the kitchen. Larger systems may be cleaned over several nights, with the kitchen ready to cook each morning.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
We measure it. Using a Wet Film Thickness Test or Deposit Thickness Test, we check the grease at set points. A mean above 200 microns, or 500 microns at any point, means it’s due.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How the job changes from site to site
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a shared building, the duct links the kitchen to other spaces, so the responsible person has more reason to keep it clean. Your certificate and report give building managers the record they need.
Vertical risers
Risers often pass through floors and walls, so fire dampers may be fitted where it crosses them. We test those as a separate job.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. The timing of a visit to Bexon is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- We test again, take photos and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
How we price ductwork cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The size of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site rules, permits and inductions
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
