Ductwork cleaning in Conyer
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. A flare-up drawn up from the range can light it, carrying a fire along the duct and into rooms far from the kitchen. Cleaning the duct takes that fuel away. The work covers multi-storey ducts, access panels and bends and junctions, and common reasons people get in touch are grease pooling at the foot of the riser and duct runs with no cleaning record.
For a kitchen in or near Conyer, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
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.
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the area around them is cleaned down. Waste grease and water are taken away.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.

What ductwork cleaning looks like in Conyer
At about 1 mile from the coast, Conyer is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. It’s Swale council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Conyer. 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. The fire and rescue service for Conyer is 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.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Conyer, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Around Conyer, as anywhere, we clean the parts you can’t see as well as the canopy you can.

What happens if it’s left?
Fire inside a duct is out of sight and out of reach. It can travel through the ductwork to other parts of the building, which is why the duct matters as much as the canopy. If the system at a site near Conyer fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.

How the visit works
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. After that, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Visits to a village like Conyer are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- 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.
- Readings, pictures and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Related advice
Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Conyer
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Conyer?
Conyer is in the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Conyer?
That is Swale council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Conyer. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What happens if there aren’t enough access panels?
Without a way in, a section can’t be cleaned properly. We record those sections on the report and can fit access panels.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
How long will the duct clean take?
It takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. The survey tells us how long your duct needs.
Will the duct clean disrupt the kitchen?
The duct is cleaned out of hours, so evenings, nights and weekends are all possible. The extract and cooking equipment need to be off.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
We measure it. Readings are taken by Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). BESA guidance says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns, and 500 or more anywhere needs immediate spot cleaning.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The condition of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How easy every part is to reach
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- The site address and the type of premises
- 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
- A few general shots of the system
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Different parts, different methods
Bends and transitions
Wherever the duct turns or changes size, grease builds up. The air slows and drops its load, so we clean these points carefully.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A fire in a duct in a shared building can affect far more than one kitchen, which makes keeping it clean all the more important. The paperwork suits landlords and managing agents.
