We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what ductwork cleaning will not do:

  • Duct sections that need replacing
  • Fire dampers that do not close (they need testing and remedials)
  • Parts of the duct with no way in

If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.

How we handle ductwork cleaning in Broom Street

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, and our certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Typical jobs include stale grease odours from the duct and heavy grease at the base of a riser, on multi-storey ducts, attenuators and vertical risers.

Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.

Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Questions from Broom Street

Does being near the coast affect ductwork cleaning in Broom Street?

It can, as Broom Street is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.

Is Broom Street within the area you cover?

Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Broom Street is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.

Do we have to stop cooking while the ducts are cleaned?

When the kitchen is closed. Larger systems may be cleaned over several nights, with the kitchen ready to cook each morning.

Are you accredited?

CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.

What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?

A photo report, with readings and before and after photos, plus a TR19 certificate for a full system clean. It also gives a recommended next clean date.

How do you protect the area?

Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.

Do you survey before quoting?

Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.

Can you quote from photos?

In many cases, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.

Do you need ductwork cleaning in Broom Street?

Slow air leaves the most grease behind. Flat runs, bends, reducers and the base of risers are the usual hotspots, and those are the points we pay most attention to.

It’s time to book a visit if you see:

  • Duct runs with no cleaning record
  • Gaps where access panels were never fitted
  • Stale grease odours from the duct
  • A grease test showing the duct is overdue

Bursars and site managers at schools such as Graveney Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the quote shows VAT
  • Whether a survey comes first
  • Proof of accreditation you can verify
  • What hours they’ll be on site

Choosing a duct cleaning contractor

What we do, step by step

Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Visits to a village like Broom Street are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.

  1. Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
  2. You get a fixed price before work starts.
  3. Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
  4. Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
  5. Readings, pictures and a recommended next clean date complete the job.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move anything stored near the system
  • Let us know about parking and loading
  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Part by part

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.

Vertical risers

Cleaning a riser needs access along its height. Any part that can’t be safely reached is recorded.

Why deal with it now?

TR19® is not law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. The Fire Safety Order 2005 makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the duct is part of that. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.

What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Why us?

  • In business since 2009
  • Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
  • Photo reports with every job
  • Full insurance on every job

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Broom Street

From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.

Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.

Broom Street kitchens: local notes

At about 2 miles from the coast, Broom Street is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Broom Street sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Broom Street get their food hygiene inspections from Swale 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.

Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital is the nearest hospital to Broom Street, about 5.6 miles north-east. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Broom Street, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
