Common problems we fix in Broadstone
Grease in a duct running from a kitchen in Broadstone is as much a fire risk as in any building. Once it lights, fire can spread along the duct and into other areas, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
A TR19® clean in Broadstone does not stop at the filters: the plenum, ductwork, fan and discharge are cleaned too.

Ductwork cleaning in Broadstone, done properly
Ductwork in Broadstone is cleaned the same thorough way as everywhere else we work: readings at set points, heavy grease scraped out by hand, then degreasing to suit the deposit. Readings are taken again afterwards and photos go into your report. Typical jobs include proof of duct cleaning for the insurer and readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test, on vertical risers, attenuators and bends and junctions.
Somewhere as small as Broadstone, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Advice
Ductwork cleaning in Broadstone: the local picture
It’s Maidstone council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Broadstone. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Broadstone falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Historic houses near Broadstone, such as Leeds Castle about 3.7 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
Broadstone is about 8 miles south-east of Maidstone, in Kent. Every kind of commercial site in Broadstone, ductwork cleaning is something we can help with.

What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease left in a duct in Broadstone hardens over time. Heat and age turn it into a thick, stubborn crust, so the later the clean, the bigger the job. In a small place like Broadstone, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Why us?
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- Parts of the duct with no way in
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How we price ductwork cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The scale of the work
- What state the system is in
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
- A few general shots of the system
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Broadstone questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Broadstone?
That is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you cover smaller places like Broadstone?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Broadstone included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we typically come back within one working day. If pictures aren’t enough, we will survey first.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
Each section is cleaned through its own panel. Grease is scraped out first, then degreased, with readings taken before and after.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
Allow a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. The survey tells us how long your duct needs.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
