Eridge Green ductwork cleaning
Ductwork cleaning in Eridge Green from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.

- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
Different parts, different methods
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A fire in a duct in a shared building can affect far more than one kitchen, so the responsible person has more reason to keep it clean. The paperwork suits landlords and managing agents.
Access panels
Access panels are the doors that let us into the duct. Where there are none, those sections can’t be cleaned and the report has to say so.
Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Eridge Green
Many ducts were installed with too few access doors. Where a section can’t be reached, TR19 expects it to be recorded on the report, and we can fit new access panels so it’s cleaned next time. It’s better to know than to assume. The work covers attenuators, multi-storey ducts and access panels, and the jobs we see most are stale grease odours from the duct and thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct.
Somewhere as small as Eridge Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, 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.

How we price ductwork cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The scale of the work
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- What state the system is in
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Flag drips from the duct right away
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Do not switch the extract off early
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, 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.

When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- Faulty fire dampers
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
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.
Kitchen extracts in Eridge Green
In Eridge Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Wealden council. 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. About 31 miles out from central London, Eridge Green is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Eridge Green is Tunbridge Wells Homeopathic Hospital, about 2.8 miles north-east. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Holy Trinity Church, or anywhere in Eridge Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Groombridge Place is about 1.9 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Questions from Eridge Green
Do you work at weekends in Eridge Green?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Eridge Green can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Eridge Green?
In Eridge Green, it’s Wealden council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
Allow from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. The survey tells us how long your duct needs.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
Do you work in Eridge Green?
Yes. We work in Eridge Green and across Kent, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Why deal with it now?
Booking the duct clean in Eridge Green now keeps it a planned job. It takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

What we do, step by step
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Eridge Green.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
