About our ductwork cleaning in Borough Green
We have been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, with each certificate issued through the BESCA portal. The work covers vertical risers, multi-storey ducts and bends and junctions, and common reasons people get in touch are a grease test showing the duct is overdue and grease seeping out of the duct seams.
For a smaller kitchen near Borough Green, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Why deal with it now?
There’s no law that names TR19. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll talk you through it.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
What affects the quote in Borough Green
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The condition of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How many systems or sites are involved
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Borough Green
Do you cover smaller places like Borough Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Borough Green included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Borough Green?
Kent Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Borough Green. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.

What does ductwork cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do we have to stop cooking while the ducts are cleaned?
Out of hours, at a time that suits the kitchen. Long ducts can be split across visits, with the kitchen ready to cook each morning.
What information do you need?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We’ll ask for anything else we need.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
The underside of a horizontal duct collects the most grease. Thick deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
Bends and transitions
A bend can hold far more grease than a straight run of the same length. It’s scraped out and degreased, and test it before and after.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Borough Green
Food Standards Agency data counts about 10 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 7 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Borough Green. Wherever those kitchens cook under a canopy, the horizontal runs and risers need cleaning as well as the hood. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Borough Green. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. It’s Tonbridge and Malling council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Borough Green. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
A kitchen near Borough Green & Wrotham station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Sevenoaks Hospital (about 4.9 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Church and community hall kitchens, near The Church of the Good Shepherd or anywhere around Borough Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Borough Green when you book.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by ductwork cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Faulty fire dampers
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Multi-storey ducts
- Horizontal duct runs
- Bends and junctions
- Attenuators
- Access panels
- Vertical risers
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
