About our ductwork cleaning in Goodnestone
We’ve been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and our certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you have ductwork that has never been cleaned and stale grease odours from the duct, we can help, from access panels, multi-storey ducts and horizontal duct runs onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Goodnestone, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

Goodnestone questions
Which fire authority looks after Goodnestone?
Kent Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Goodnestone. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you work in Goodnestone outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Goodnestone doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
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.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
We get into the duct through its access panels. Heavy grease is scraped out by hand, then the surfaces are degreased with a method that suits the deposit, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, we fit access panels where the duct needs them. That lets the next clean reach sections that were missed, and the report will show where they’re needed.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
What the work involves, part by part
Bends and transitions
Wherever the duct turns or changes size, grease builds up. The air slows and drops its load, so these points get extra attention.
Vertical risers
Cleaning a riser needs access along its height. Where it cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
The report names every part of the duct that couldn’t be reached and why. You can then decide whether to have access panels fitted.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: grease leaking from duct joints, smells, or a fan that sounds rough. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Goodnestone
Food Standards Agency records include about 4 pubs and bars in Goodnestone and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Dover council inspect food businesses in Goodnestone. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for Goodnestone is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of the Holy Cross or elsewhere in Goodnestone, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. School kitchens, at schools like Goodnestone Church of England Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Goodnestone (Goodnestone Park is about 0.4 miles south-west), fitting access panels needs care.

Why deal with it now?
Dealing with the ductwork in Goodnestone now beats dealing with it after a problem. It takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers, done out of hours so the kitchen keeps cooking. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.

How we price ductwork cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How big the system is
- The times the site is available
- What state the system is in
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any previous report or certificate

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
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 grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Visits to a village like Goodnestone are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- Readings and photos are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
