Ductwork cleaning in Frant, done properly
The ductwork is where an extract clean is won or lost. Sections with no way in can go uncleaned for years. Each section we can reach is cleaned, and any we can’t is written down, so you know exactly where you stand. If you’re dealing with gaps where access panels were never fitted and hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs, we can help, from horizontal duct runs, bends and junctions and attenuators onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Frant, 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, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Frant
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Frant kitchens: local notes
Frant, about 32 miles from central London, is within our usual area. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Frant sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Alban or elsewhere in Frant, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Wadhurst Castle is about 3.5 miles south-east), access may need planning. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Frant Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Frant, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Frant: your questions answered
Which fire authority looks after Frant?
Frant is in the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you cover smaller places like Frant?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Frant included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
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.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- Parts of the duct with no way in
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work
- Multi-storey ducts
- Attenuators
- Vertical risers
- Access panels
- Horizontal duct runs
- Bends and junctions
Part by part
Attenuators and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to reduce noise, but they can hold grease in their linings. They’re cleaned where possible and recorded if not.
Horizontal duct runs
Flat runs of duct link the canopy to the riser or the outside wall. They collect grease as the air cools and slows, so each section is cleaned through its access panels.
What else we do in Frant
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with the ductwork in Frant now beats dealing with it after a problem. It takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points, done out of hours so the kitchen keeps cooking. If the system at a site near Frant fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Frant knowing what to expect.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
After the clean, the same points are tested again, so the report shows the before and after figures. Before and after photos sit next to the numbers.
Have access panels fitted where sections can’t be reached. It doesn’t stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
