How we price ductwork cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How big the system is
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business

Ductwork cleaning in Bramling
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? Tell us about the system when you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and a fixed price will follow, usually within one working day. The work covers vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and attenuators, and the jobs we see most are readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test and smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork.
Work in a small place like Bramling starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Do not switch the extract off early
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Diarise the next duct clean
Keep the certificate and report with the fire risk assessment. An insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask to see it, and the pictures make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bramling
Under BESA guidance, the mean grease level should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans. Anywhere that reaches 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning. Putting off the clean only pushes readings higher. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Grease, kitchens and Bramling
The FSA’s data shows about 5 pubs and bars registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Bramling. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Bramling is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in Bramling get their food hygiene inspections from Canterbury City council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Goodnestone Park, about 2.1 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Bramling; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. A hospital like St Martins Hospital, about 3.8 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. School kitchens, at schools like Wingham Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Somewhere as small as Bramling, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about parking and loading

Common questions in Bramling
Do you work in villages like Bramling?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Bramling included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can school kitchens in Bramling be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 3 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Bramling, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
When is the ductwork cleaned?
The duct is cleaned out of hours, so evenings, nights and weekends are all possible. Equipment and the extract are switched off while we work.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
We open each access panel and clean the section it reaches. Grease is scraped out first, then degreased, with readings taken before and after.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
Every clean comes with a photo report, and a full TR19 clean also comes with a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Keep both in the maintenance log.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A duct that is too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- Sections that cannot be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- Faulty fire dampers
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Multi-storey ducts
- Access panels
- Bends and junctions
- Attenuators
Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
