Ductwork cleaning in Dunton Green
Every duct has its own route. Some run a short distance to an outside wall, others climb several floors to the roof. We map the route during the survey and finds every access point before we quote. Common call-outs are for thick crusts of old grease along the duct and readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test, on multi-storey ducts, access panels and horizontal duct runs.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What ductwork cleaning can’t fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Sections that cannot be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- A duct that is too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)

For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

Common problems we fix in Dunton Green
Grease in a duct running from a kitchen in Dunton Green is as much a fire risk as in any building. Once it lights, fire can spread along the duct and into other areas, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- High readings at a recent grease test
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Dunton Green Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos

Dunton Green kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 23 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 11 sandwich bars and takeaways in Dunton Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they cook under a canopy, grease doesn’t stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. Fire safety in Dunton Green falls to 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. It’s Sevenoaks council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Dunton Green. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St John's Church or elsewhere in Dunton Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you run a café or takeaway near Dunton Green station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

The process
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access, and we clear up before we go. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Dunton Green can be planned properly.
- 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.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear loose items from the work area
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It shows when and where the clean was done and by whom.
Some signs mean the duct needs attention sooner: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.
