Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in East Langdon
We treat ductwork like a doctor treats 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. If you have thick crusts of old grease along the duct and stale grease odours from the duct, we can help, from bends and junctions, access panels and multi-storey ducts onwards.
In a small place like East Langdon, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Ductwork cleaning in East Langdon: the local picture
Sea air reaches East Langdon, which sits within about 3 miles of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of East Langdon. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. Kitchens in East Langdon get their food hygiene inspections from Dover council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
For kitchens close to Martin Mill station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Augustine or anywhere around East Langdon, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Langdon Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- An extract fan that has stopped working
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Access panels
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Multi-storey ducts
- Bends and junctions
- Attenuators
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
Keep the certificate and report with the fire risk assessment. An insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask to see it, and the pictures make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Keep the fan on throughout service. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
East Langdon questions
Do you work in villages like East Langdon?
Yes. East Langdon is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work at weekends in East Langdon?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in East Langdon needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
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.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
Readings, pictures and, for a full clean, a TR19 certificate. It also gives a recommended next clean date.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Do you install duct access panels?
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 we do, step by step
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 we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. In a small place like East Langdon, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- 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.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
Part by part
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building to the roof. Grease runs down the walls and gathers at the base, which is one of the points we test.
Bends and transitions
A bend can hold far more grease than a straight run of the same length. We clean it back by hand and with degreaser, and test it before and after.
Leave it or put it right?
Fire inside a duct is out of sight and out of reach. It can travel through the ductwork to other parts of the building, which is why the duct matters as much as the canopy. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.

What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
