- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
When to call us in Cop Street
A vertical riser can run up several floors. Grease clings to the walls and can run down to the base as liquid grease runs down. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Cop Street, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Before you book anyone
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Cop Street
Duct cleaning is the hardest part of an extract clean, and the part most often skipped. Without enough access panels, long stretches can go years without being touched. Each section we can reach is cleaned, and any we cannot is written down, so you know exactly where you stand. If you have gaps where access panels were never fitted and a duct clean needed for an insurer, we can put it right, from horizontal duct runs, access panels and attenuators onwards.
Somewhere as small as Cop Street, 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.
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, trading since 2009.

Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Check readings when the menu changes
After the clean, the same points are tested again, so the report shows the before and after figures. Before and after pictures sit next to the numbers.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
Ductwork cleaning around Cop Street
Food Standards Agency records include about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Cop Street, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Kitchens in Cop Street get their food hygiene inspections from Dover council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Cop Street is covered by 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.
Goodnestone Park, about 4.1 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses near Cop Street; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. For schools such as Ash Cartwright and Kelsey Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Questions from Cop Street
Can you get to a site in Cop Street?
Yes, Cop Street is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Cop Street?
Cop Street is in the area of 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.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
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. The report says when the next clean is due.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
Through access panels along the duct. 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.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
Short runs are quick, but long or complex ducts may take several visits. We plan the work around your kitchen.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease left in a duct in Cop Street hardens over time. Heat and age turn it into a thick, stubborn crust, which makes each delayed clean a bigger one. It’s simpler to plan the work at Cop Street now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers, and we clear up before we go. Somewhere as small as Cop Street, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

What affects the quote in Cop Street
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The condition of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any previous report or certificate
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
Not every problem is solved by ductwork cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Access panels
- Bends and junctions
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Attenuators
- Multi-storey ducts
What the work involves, part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a building with several floors, the duct may pass other tenants’ spaces. Access is planned with the building’s managers, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
Access panels
Access panels are the doors that let us into the duct. Where there are none, those sections cannot be cleaned, and TR19 expects them to be recorded.
