About our ductwork cleaning in Fairseat
Between the canopy and the fan runs the ductwork, hidden above ceilings and inside walls. Grease settles along every metre of it and a fire in the duct can spread through the building. We clean it from the inside, through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. If you have duct runs that can’t be reached and grease leaking from duct joints, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Fairseat, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Fairseat
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
What happens on the day
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Fairseat knowing what to expect.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- We test again, take photos and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

FAQs for Fairseat
Will you come out to Fairseat?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Fairseat is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Fairseat?
That’s Tonbridge and Malling council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Fairseat. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Fairseat?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?
BESA guidance sets minimum intervals by daily cooking hours: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate and 12-monthly for light use. Measured grease sets the real interval.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
Through access panels along the duct. Thick deposits are removed by hand before degreasing, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Leave it or put it right?
Old grease in a duct for a kitchen in Fairseat doesn’t stay soft. Heat and age turn it into a thick, stubborn crust, which makes each delayed clean a bigger one. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Ductwork cleaning around Fairseat
Food Standards Agency records include about 8 pubs and bars in and around Fairseat, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. In Fairseat, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Tonbridge and Malling council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Fairseat. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Where a hall near Holy Innocents, or anywhere in Fairseat, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. 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 south), access may need planning. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Wrotham School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by ductwork cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Fire dampers that do not close (they need testing and remedials)
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A duct that is too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.

How the job changes from site to site
Access panels
We can fit new access panels where the duct needs them, making future cleans more complete. The survey shows where they’re needed.
Attenuators and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, quieten the extract, and their linings can soak up grease. They’re cleaned where possible and recorded if not.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
- Check readings when the menu changes
The report gives a recommended next clean date, based on the readings and your daily cooking hours, in line with BESA guidance.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
