East Peckham: your questions answered
Which fire authority looks after East Peckham?
That’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you get to a site in East Peckham?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and East Peckham is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What happens if there are not enough access panels?
Any section we cannot reach is recorded on the report, as TR19 expects. New panels can be fitted to reach them in future.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
Every clean comes with a photo report, plus a TR19 certificate when the whole system is cleaned. Keep both in the maintenance log.
What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?
At least as often as BESA guidance sets for your cooking hours. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means at least every 3 months, while lighter use can go longer.
About our ductwork cleaning in East Peckham
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. A flare-up drawn up from the range can light it, and fire can then run along the ductwork to other parts of the building. Removing it is the whole point. If you have hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs and heavy grease at the base of a riser, we can help, from attenuators, bends and junctions and access panels onwards.
In a small place like East Peckham, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re 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 come back with a fixed quote.
Why deal with it now?
Grease left in a duct in East Peckham hardens over time. Heat and age turn it into a thick, stubborn crust, so the later the clean, the bigger the job. Planning a trip to East Peckham ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Grease, kitchens and East Peckham
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central East Peckham. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Tonbridge and Malling council inspect food businesses in East Peckham. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers East Peckham. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as East Peckham Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Old Soar Manor is about 4.5 miles north-west), access may need planning. Where a hall near Church of the Holy Trinity, or anywhere in East Peckham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

The closest station to East Peckham is Beltring station, roughly 1 mile south-east of the centre.

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Make sure filters are seated properly
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It records the date, the location and the technician.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
What the work involves, part by part
Bends and transitions
Bends, elbows and changes of size are where grease collects most. Slowing air leaves grease behind, so we clean these points carefully.
Vertical risers
Risers often pass through floors and walls, so fire dampers may be fitted where it crosses them. Damper testing is a separate service.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Sections that cannot be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- Attenuators
- Vertical risers
- Bends and junctions
- Horizontal duct runs
- Access panels
- Multi-storey ducts
The process
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work 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 East Peckham.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and pictures repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
