How we handle ductwork cleaning in Great Mongeham
Many ducts were installed with too few access doors. Where a section cannot be reached, TR19 expects it to be recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted to reach it in future. It’s better to know than to assume. The work covers access panels, vertical risers and multi-storey ducts, and common reasons people get in touch are thick crusts of old grease along the duct and thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct.
Work in a small place like Great Mongeham starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What we do, step by step
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. The timing of a visit to Great Mongeham is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote

What happens if it’s left?
There’s no law that names TR19. The Fire Safety Order 2005 makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the duct is part of that. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

What ductwork cleaning can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what ductwork cleaning won’t do:
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Duct sections that need replacing
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Attenuators
- Access panels
- Multi-storey ducts
- Bends and junctions
What the work involves, part by part
Access panels
After cleaning, every panel is closed and sealed so the duct stays tight. We will tell you if any panel needs replacing.
Vertical risers
Risers are cleaned through panels at different levels. Where it can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Common problems we fix in Great Mongeham
A duct with too few access doors cannot be fully cleaned. Sections between panels go uncleaned, sometimes since the system was installed, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Great Mongeham (Walmer Castle is about 2 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.

FAQs for Great Mongeham
Will you come out to Great Mongeham?
Yes. Great Mongeham is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Great Mongeham in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 10 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Great Mongeham. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Normally, yes. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we’ll survey first.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
A grease thickness test gives the answer. Using a Wet Film Thickness Test or Deposit Thickness Test, we check the grease at set points. A mean above 200 microns, or 500 microns at any point, means it’s due.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Ductwork cleaning around Great Mongeham
Great Mongeham is within about 3 miles of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The Food Standards Agency lists about 16 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Great Mongeham. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Great Mongeham is covered by 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.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Hornbeam Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Where a hall near Church of St Martin, or anywhere in Great Mongeham, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
