How we handle ductwork cleaning in Frogham
We have been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, our duct cleaning is done to BESA TR19® Grease, and our certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers vertical risers, attenuators and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are proof of duct cleaning for the insurer and readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Frogham: your questions answered
Will you come out to Frogham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which fire service covers Frogham?
It’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Frogham. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?
It depends mostly on daily cooking hours. Kitchens cooking 12 to 16 hours a day need it at least every 3 months, while lighter use can go longer.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
It depends on the length of the duct, the number of access panels and how much grease there is. As a guide, it takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access.

Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use

Ductwork cleaning in Frogham: the local picture
Look up Frogham on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Frogham. Where they cook under a canopy, grease doesn’t stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. Frogham 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. In Frogham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Dover council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Where a hall near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Frogham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Nonington Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Frogham, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Buckland Hospital is the nearest hospital to Frogham, about 6 miles south-east.

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, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections can’t be reached
File the paperwork in the maintenance log. 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.
Different parts, different methods
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a building with several floors, the duct may pass other tenants’ spaces. We plan access with you and the building manager, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
Vertical risers
A riser takes the duct up through one or more floors. Grease runs down the walls and gathers at the base, so the base is one of our test points.

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Frogham.

- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote

What a clean will not put right
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- Sections that cannot be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
