Ductwork cleaning in Golden Green, done properly
If the ducts in Golden Green haven’t been cleaned for a while, or nobody is sure when they were? A few details about the system are a good start when you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and a fixed price will follow, typically within one working day. We are often asked to deal with grease seeping out of the duct seams and a grease test showing the duct is overdue, on bends and junctions, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers.
Work in a small place like Golden Green 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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections can’t be reached
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
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.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. A change in cooking hours may change the interval under BESA guidance, and grease thickness testing will show it.
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The size of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Travel, parking and unloading
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

FAQs for Golden Green
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Golden Green?
That’s Tonbridge and Malling council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Golden Green. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Golden Green during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 6 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Golden Green, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you install duct access panels?
Yes, we do. We will point out where panels are needed, and we can fit them so those sections are cleaned in future.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?
BESA guidance sets minimum intervals by daily cooking hours: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings may show it needs doing sooner.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What the work involves, part by part
Horizontal duct runs
The underside of a horizontal duct collects the most grease. We scrape out the heavy layer first, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
Attenuators and discharge
Near the discharge, the air has cooled the most, which can mean heavier deposits. It’s tested and cleaned along with the rest.
What a clean will not put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A damper stuck open in the duct
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Golden Green kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Golden Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. Environmental health officers from Tonbridge and Malling council inspect food businesses in Golden Green. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Golden Green is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Tonbridge Cottage Hospital (about 3.8 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Historic houses near Golden Green, such as Old Soar Manor about 3.8 miles north, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Hadlow Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
