Ductwork Cleaning in Durrant Green
Professional ductwork cleaning in and around Durrant Green, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and pictures.
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Flag drips from the duct right away
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, so the report shows the before and after figures. Photos of each section go alongside them.
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.
About our ductwork cleaning in Durrant Green
In doctor’s terms, the ductwork is the system’s arteries: find the blockages, clear them, then check the flow is right. Grease readings before and after give you the evidence, alongside before and after pictures. The work covers horizontal duct runs, access panels and multi-storey ducts, and common reasons people get in touch are a duct nobody has opened in years and duct runs that can’t be reached.
Somewhere as small as Durrant Green, 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.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What ductwork cleaning looks like in Durrant Green
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs in Durrant Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Environmental health officers from Ashford council inspect food businesses in Durrant Green. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Durrant Green is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Historic houses near Durrant Green, such as Smallhythe Place about 4.3 miles south, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Michael, or anywhere in Durrant Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Durrant Green run smoothly.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear the space around the work
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

For landlords and multi-site operators
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 each one has its own record.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
How we price ductwork cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The scale of the work
- Parking and loading at the site
- What state the system is in
- The number of sites or systems
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The postcode and the type of business
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
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. Then call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
When to call us in Durrant Green
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.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
For schools such as St Michael's Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Common questions in Durrant Green
Who inspects food businesses in Durrant Green?
That’s Ashford council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Durrant Green. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which fire service covers Durrant Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Durrant Green is handled by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Durrant Green?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before any work starts.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Why it’s worth doing now in Durrant Green
A partly blocked duct slows the airflow. The fan works harder, the kitchen gets hotter and smoke lingers at the canopy, and grease may start to leak from joints. In a small place like Durrant Green, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will talk you through it.
