Ductwork cleaning in Eyhorne Street, done properly

Each extract duct we take on in Eyhorne Street goes through the full routine: readings at set points, heavy grease scraped out by hand, then degreasing to suit the deposit. Post-clean readings and pictures complete the record. If you have high readings at a recent grease test and grease seeping out of the duct seams, we can help.

Somewhere as small as Eyhorne Street, 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.

Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When it’s something else

We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:

  • A worn-out fan that needs replacing

  • Ductwork that was poorly designed

If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Ductwork cleaning around Eyhorne Street

Look up Eyhorne Street on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 8 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Eyhorne Street and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever those kitchens cook under a canopy, the horizontal runs and risers need cleaning as well as the hood. Kitchens in Eyhorne Street get their food hygiene inspections from Maidstone council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Eyhorne Street sits within the area of 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.

For kitchens close to Hollingbourne station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Hollingbourne Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

For landlords and multi-site operators

We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges 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’ll send a fixed quote.

How it works

The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. The timing of a visit to Eyhorne Street is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.

  1. We trace the duct and find every way in.
  2. We take grease readings along the route.
  3. Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
  4. Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
  5. We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.

How to prepare

  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
  • Arrange a key holder or contact on site
  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Advice

What we’re called out for in Eyhorne Street

A greasy duct is a fire path, in Eyhorne Street as anywhere. Burning grease can carry fire through the ductwork to other rooms or floors, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.

Any of these means the system needs a check-up:

  • Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
  • A rancid smell from the extract duct
  • Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
  • Duct runs that cannot be reached

Church and community hall kitchens, near All Saints Church or anywhere around Eyhorne Street, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether VAT is included
  • Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
  • Whether they recommend a next date
  • If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate

Choosing a duct cleaning contractor

Leave it or put it right?

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. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.

Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Why us?

  • Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
  • CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
  • A written report with pictures after each visit
  • Every job surveyed first

FAQs for Eyhorne Street

Can you come to Eyhorne Street after we close?

Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Eyhorne Street can fit around your hours. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.

Can school kitchens in Eyhorne Street be cleaned in the holidays?

Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Eyhorne Street, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.

How far ahead should we book?

For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.

Can you set up regular visits?

Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.

Is TR19 a legal requirement?

No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.

Are you insured?

Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.

What do you need from me for a quote?

Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. If we need more, we’ll ask.

Do you work with multi-site operators?

Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.

How we price ductwork cleaning

Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:

  • Any permits to work or inductions
  • How many systems or sites are involved
  • The size of the system
  • One-off work versus a regular cycle

Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Helping us quote

A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:

  • The postcode and the type of business
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.

When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
