About our ductwork cleaning in Broomhill
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. Flames pulled in from the cooking line can ignite it, and fire can then run along the ductwork to other parts of the building. Removing it is the whole point. The work covers vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and multi-storey ducts, and common reasons people get in touch are fat dripping from the ductwork and an insurer asking for TR19 evidence.
Somewhere as small as Broomhill, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Grease, kitchens and Broomhill
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 pubs and bars in Broomhill and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Broomhill sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Food hygiene inspections in Broomhill are the job of Dover council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Mary's Church or elsewhere in Broomhill, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. For schools such as Wingham Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Goodnestone Park, about 2.5 miles south, is one of the historic houses near Broomhill; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

What the work involves, part by part
Attenuators and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to reduce noise, but they can hold grease in their linings. We clean what can be reached and note anything that cannot.
Bends and transitions
Wherever the duct turns or changes size, grease builds up. Slowing air leaves grease behind, so these points get extra attention.
When it’s something else
Ductwork cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Fire dampers that don’t close (they need testing and remedials)
- Parts of the duct with no way in
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Multi-storey ducts
- Attenuators
- Vertical risers
- Bends and junctions
- Access panels
- Horizontal duct runs
Common questions in Broomhill
Can you get to a site in Broomhill?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Broomhill is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Broomhill?
In Broomhill, it’s Dover council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
We open each access panel and clean the section it reaches. Heavy grease comes out by hand, and what’s left is degreased, with readings taken before and after.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.

What else we do in Broomhill
How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Broomhill and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear loose items from the work area
Get a fixed quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Broomhill and across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease narrows the duct and slows the air. Less air moves, so heat and smoke stay in the kitchen while the fan strains, and grease may start to leak from joints. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

How we price ductwork cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
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, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
