Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Folly Town
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Folly Town?
Fire safety enforcement in Folly Town is handled by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Which council inspects kitchens in Folly Town?
Kitchens in Folly Town are inspected by Ashford council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
Signs include grease dripping from joints, smells and a fan working harder, but the only sure way is to measure. Grease thickness testing shows exactly where the duct stands.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
About our ductwork cleaning in Folly Town
Every duct has its own route. A few metres to an outside wall, or a riser up through the building to a roof fan. We map the route during the survey, so we know where to get in and how long it will take. If you have grease seeping out of the duct seams and ductwork that has never been cleaned, we can help, from attenuators, multi-storey ducts and bends and junctions onwards.
In a small place like Folly Town, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
Risers are cleaned through panels at different levels. Where it cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Bends and transitions
The join where the canopy meets the duct is a common hotspot. We clean it from the canopy side or through a nearby panel.
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Diarise the next duct clean
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It shows when and where the clean was done and by whom.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
When to call us in Folly Town
Slow air leaves the most grease behind. Flat runs, bends, reducers and the base of risers are the usual hotspots, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Folly Town, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Folly Town knowing what to expect.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- 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
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Advice
How we price ductwork cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How big the system is
- 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 we’ll price it together.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- A few general shots of the system
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Grease, kitchens and Folly Town
Folly Town, about 52 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. In Folly Town, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Ashford council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Wye School or anywhere near Folly Town, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like William Harvey Hospital about 3.6 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
