Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Garlinge Green
Many ducts were installed with too few access doors. TR19 calls for any section we couldn’t reach to be recorded, and new panels can be fitted to reach it in future. It’s better to know than to assume. The work covers access panels, multi-storey ducts and bends and junctions, and common reasons people get in touch are sections of duct with no access panels and a rancid smell from the extract duct.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How we price ductwork cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The scale of the work
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition of the system
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
A long flat run cannot be cleaned from one end. Where the gaps between panels are too long, we record what couldn’t be reached and can fit extra panels.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Ducts in taller or shared buildings often run past other occupiers. Access is planned with the building’s managers, so the clean is done safely and quietly.

How it works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Somewhere as small as Garlinge Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- We test again, take photos and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Advice
Garlinge Green: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Garlinge Green?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which fire authority looks after Garlinge Green?
That is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Can you quote from pictures?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we cannot see enough, we arrange a survey.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Garlinge Green
Many ducts do not have enough access panels. Stretches with no way in may never have been touched, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- High readings at a recent grease test
Around Garlinge Green, as anywhere, we clean the parts you can’t see as well as the canopy you can.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Do not switch the extract off early
- Flag drips from the duct right away
- Never cook with a filter missing
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the area around them is cleaned down. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
Have access panels fitted where sections can’t be reached. It doesn’t stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
