About our ductwork cleaning in Doddington
Grease in a duct is hidden, which is exactly why it’s dangerous. Flames pulled in from the cooking line can ignite it, carrying a fire along the duct and into rooms far from the kitchen. Removing it is the whole point. If you are dealing with sections of duct with no access panels and years of grease along the duct floor, we can help, from attenuators, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Doddington, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Do not switch the extract off early
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Keep your cleaning records together
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It records the date, the location and the technician.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Doddington
We cover Doddington, about 40 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Food hygiene inspections in Doddington are the job of Swale council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of the Beheading of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Doddington, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Common questions in Doddington
Which council inspects kitchens in Doddington?
The local authority for Doddington is Swale council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can you get to a site in Doddington?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
You get a photo report with before and after photos, plus a TR19 certificate when the whole system is cleaned. File them with the fire risk assessment.
For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.

When to call us in Doddington
Grease settles fastest where the air slows down. Flat runs, bends, reducers and the base of risers are the usual hotspots, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
Belmont House and Gardens, about 3.3 miles east, is one of the historic houses near Doddington; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

What happens on the day
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Doddington.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- 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, pictures and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Advice
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Why act early in Doddington
There’s no law that names TR19. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the duct is part of that. Planning a trip to Doddington ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What you get with us
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Full insurance on every job
- We diagnose before we treat

What a clean will not put right
Not every problem is solved by ductwork cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before booking.
