Ductwork cleaning in Eastry
The ductwork is where an extract clean is won or lost. Sections with no way in can go uncleaned for years. We open up every reachable section and record any we cannot reach, so you know exactly where you stand. If you have heavy grease at the base of a riser and a duct clean needed for an insurer, we can put it right.
For a smaller kitchen near Eastry, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Different parts, different methods
Attenuators and discharge
At the end of the duct is the discharge. It can gather grease and mark the wall or roof around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
Vertical risers
Cleaning a riser needs access along its height. Any part that cannot be safely reached is recorded.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Eastry
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
Access panels are closed and sealed back up after cleaning, and the surrounding area is left clean. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
Have access panels fitted where sections can’t be reached. It doesn’t stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
Kitchen extracts in Eastry
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Eastry. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. The fire and rescue service for Eastry is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Dover council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Eastry. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
School kitchens, at schools like Eastry Church of England Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Where a hall near Church of St Mary the Virgin, or anywhere in Eastry, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Parts of the duct with no way in
- Fire dampers that do not close (they need testing and remedials)
- Duct sections that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work
- Multi-storey ducts
- Attenuators
- Bends and junctions
- Vertical risers
- Access panels
- Horizontal duct runs
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Tell us when your site near Eastry is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- Post-clean readings and photos go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

What we’re called out for in Eastry
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease clings to the walls and can run down to the base, where it can pool. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
Historic houses near Eastry, such as Goodnestone Park about 3.4 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Eastry: your questions answered
Which fire service covers Eastry?
It’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Eastry. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you work at weekends in Eastry?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, we do. The survey or clean shows where sections couldn’t be reached, and fitting them means future cleans are more complete.

Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
Allow from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
