Frinsted: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Frinsted?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can the work in Frinsted be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Frinsted needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
Through access panels along the duct. Thick deposits are removed by hand before degreasing, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Frinsted?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
Readings, photos and, for a full clean, a TR19 certificate. It also gives a recommended next clean date.
How we handle ductwork cleaning in Frinsted
Duct cleaning is the hardest part of an extract clean, and the part most often skipped. Without enough access panels, long stretches can go years without being touched. We open up every reachable section and record any we can’t reach, so you know exactly where you stand. Typical jobs include stale grease odours from the duct and duct runs with no cleaning record, on attenuators, access panels and multi-storey ducts.
Work in a small place like Frinsted starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

What else we do in Frinsted
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
Keep the certificate and report with the fire risk assessment. An insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask to see it, and the photos make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Frinsted.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

What affects the quote in Frinsted
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- What state the system is in
- How easy every part is to reach
- Travel, parking and unloading
- A single visit or a regular plan
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Grease, kitchens and Frinsted
In Frinsted, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Maidstone council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. At about 37 miles from central London, Frinsted sits well inside the area we cover. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
School kitchens, at schools like Milstead and Frinsted Church of England Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Leeds Castle is about 4 miles south-west), access may need planning.

Different parts, different methods
Bends and transitions
Grease tends to pile up at elbows. We clean it back by hand and with degreaser, and test it before and after.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Long ducts in larger buildings can mean several visits. Visits are planned around the building’s hours, out of hours where possible.
Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Frinsted
Wherever the kitchen is, in Frinsted or elsewhere, the duct fills in the same way: hours of cooking, the type of food and how well the filters are kept. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily use.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Giles, or anywhere in Frinsted, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What your quote should include
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What insurance they carry
- Whether VAT is included
