Ductwork cleaning around Clement Street
Food Standards Agency records list about 7 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 5 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Clement Street. The duct above a busy canopy coats itself in grease long before anyone sees it. Clement Street 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. It’s Dartford council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Clement Street. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of Saint Paul or elsewhere in Clement Street, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like West Hill Hospital about 2.2 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Clement Street is about 2 miles south of Dartford, in Kent.

Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Clement Street
We treat ductwork like a doctor treats arteries: find the blockages, clear them, then check the flow is right. Readings taken before and after show the difference, alongside before and after pictures. We’re often asked to deal with fat dripping from the ductwork and an insurer asking for TR19 evidence, on horizontal duct runs, attenuators and bends and junctions.
Work in a small place like Clement Street starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

The process
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. The visit takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Clement Street before we set off.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.

How the job changes from site to site
Bends and transitions
Bends, elbows and changes of size are where grease collects most. The air slows and drops its load, so these points get extra attention.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a building with several floors, the duct may pass other tenants’ spaces. We plan access with you and the building manager, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
What we are called out for in Clement Street
Wherever the kitchen is, in Clement Street or elsewhere, the duct fills in the same way: hours of cooking, the type of food and how well the filters are kept. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily use.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Sutton-At-Hone Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Clement Street questions
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Clement Street during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 7 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Clement Street. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
Can you work in Clement Street outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Clement Street can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
We get into the duct through its access panels. Heavy grease is scraped out by hand, then the surfaces are degreased with a method that suits the deposit, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before we start.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Typically, yes. 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.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
A short duct can be cleaned in a few hours, but long or complex ducts may take several visits. Visits are planned out of hours.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Why deal with it now?
Booking the duct clean in Clement Street now keeps it a planned job. The work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

How we price ductwork cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- What state the system is in
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The size of the system
The cost 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 there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Your last certificate, test record or report
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Faulty fire dampers
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
