In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
How we handle ductwork cleaning in Deerton Street
In doctor’s terms, the ductwork is the system’s arteries: find the blockages, clear them, then check the flow is right. Readings taken before and after show the difference, alongside before and after photos. The work covers vertical risers, multi-storey ducts and access panels, and people most often call us about readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test and heavy grease at the base of a riser.
Somewhere as small as Deerton Street, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every 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.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Deerton Street
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How big the system is
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The times the site is available
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- A few general shots of the system
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
You’ll have a recommended date for the next clean, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
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.
The process
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Deerton Street.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Move anything stored near the system
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Deerton Street?
Damaged or poorly fitted filters let more grease into the duct. The duct then takes grease that the filters should have stopped and it fills faster.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Teynham Parochial Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

How the job changes from site to site
Bends and transitions
Transitions from the canopy spigot into the duct catch a lot of grease. We reach it from the plenum side where possible.
Vertical risers
In taller buildings, a riser may pass through several floors and fire compartments, where fire dampers may be fitted. Damper testing is a separate service.
Kitchen extracts in Deerton Street
The coast is only about 2 miles from Deerton Street. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Deerton Street and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each kitchen that cooks under a canopy sends grease-laden air into a duct, where it cools and settles. The fire and rescue service for Deerton Street is 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.
Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Deerton Street, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Deerton Street (Belmont House and Gardens is about 4.1 miles south), fitting access panels needs care.

Questions from Deerton Street
Can a school canteen extract in Deerton Street be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 3 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Deerton Street, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Does being near the coast affect ductwork cleaning in Deerton Street?
It can. Being within about 2 miles of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Deerton Street than inland. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, as part of our fits and repairs work. Panels go where they give the best access to sections that couldn’t be reached, and we’ll recommend where.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
What happens if there aren’t enough access panels?
Every reachable section is cleaned and the rest recorded. Fitting extra access panels is the usual answer, and we can do that for you.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
It takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
Signs include grease dripping from joints, smells and a fan working harder, but measuring is the reliable way to know. A WFTT or DTT reading gives a clear answer.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Honest limits
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Fire dampers that do not close (they need testing and remedials)
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
