Ductwork cleaning in Danaway, done properly
Grease in a duct is hidden, which is exactly why it’s dangerous. Flames pulled in from the cooking line can ignite it, and fire can then run along the ductwork to other parts of the building. Cleaning the duct takes that fuel away. Typical jobs include hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs and duct runs with no cleaning record, on vertical risers, bends and junctions and multi-storey ducts.
Somewhere as small as Danaway, 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.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Danaway: your questions answered
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Danaway during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Danaway. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Which council inspects kitchens in Danaway?
That’s Swale council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Danaway. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
How long will the duct clean take?
It depends on the length of the duct, the number of access panels and how much grease there is. As a guide, it takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Grease, kitchens and Danaway
Look up Danaway on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 6 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Danaway, up to about a mile and a half out. The duct above a busy canopy coats itself in grease long before anyone sees it. In Danaway, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers 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. The fire and rescue service for Danaway is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Borden Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Danaway, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

How it works
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Danaway before we set off.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and pictures repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Related advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
Risers often pass through floors and walls, so fire dampers may be fitted where it crosses them. Damper testing is a separate service.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Ducts in taller or shared buildings often run past other occupiers. We plan access with you and the building manager, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections can’t be reached
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
After the clean, the same points are tested again, so the report shows the before and after figures. Photos of each section go alongside them.
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.

What else we do in Danaway
Why act early in Danaway
Under BESA guidance, the mean grease level should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans. A reading of 500 microns or more at any point means a spot clean right away. Putting off the clean only pushes readings higher. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Danaway is calmer for everyone.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Danaway
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
