What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The times the site is available
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- What state the system is in
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The postcode and the type of business
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Visits to a village like Fenn Street are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Common questions in Fenn Street
Which environmental health team covers Fenn Street?
Kitchens in Fenn Street are inspected by Medway council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you work at weekends in Fenn Street?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Fenn Street needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.

You get a photo report with before and after pictures, plus a TR19 certificate when the whole system is cleaned. File them with the fire risk assessment.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Medway. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Flag drips from the duct right away
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the surrounding area is left clean. Waste grease and water are taken away.
Keep the fan on throughout service. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.

What else we do in Fenn Street
Ductwork cleaning around Fenn Street
Fenn Street is within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Look up Fenn Street on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Fenn Street and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. The fire and rescue service for Fenn Street is 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.
School kitchens, at schools like High Halstow Primary Academy for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Fenn Street, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Medway Maritime Hospital (about 4.9 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Fire dampers that don’t close (they need testing and remedials)
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Duct sections that need replacing
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Multi-storey ducts
- Attenuators
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Access panels
- Bends and junctions
What the work involves, part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a shared building, the duct links the kitchen to other spaces, which makes keeping it clean all the more important. Your certificate and report give building managers the record they need.
Access panels
Access panels are the doors that let us into the duct. Where there are none, those sections can’t be cleaned, and TR19 expects them to be recorded.
