About our ductwork cleaning in Green Street Green
The ductwork is where an extract clean is won or lost. Without enough access panels, long stretches can go years without being touched. Each section we can reach is cleaned, and any we cannot is written down, so you know exactly where you stand. Typical jobs include years of grease along the duct floor and gaps where access panels were never fitted, on vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and multi-storey ducts.
Work in a small place like Green Street 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.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How the job changes from site to site
Access panels
Panels have to seal properly once they’re closed so the duct stays tight. A damaged panel is noted on the report.
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.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Green Street Green
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Green Street Green and across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Green Street Green
There are about 10 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 8 takeaways across Green Street Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. The duct above a busy canopy coats itself in grease long before anyone sees it. Environmental health officers from Dartford council inspect food businesses in Green Street Green. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Green Street Green. 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.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Darent Valley Hospital about 1.7 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
Duct length, access and grease levels all affect it. Typically it takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
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.
How often should kitchen ducts be cleaned?
It follows the same interval as the whole extract, ranging from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Grease thickness testing shows whether that’s often enough.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Green Street Green.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- 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
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
