How we handle ductwork cleaning in Gushmere
Duct cleaning is the hardest part of an extract clean, and the part most often skipped. Sections with no way in can go uncleaned for years. Each section we can reach is cleaned, and any we can’t is written down, so you know exactly where you stand. If you’re dealing with thick crusts of old grease along the duct and thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct, we can help.
In a small place like Gushmere, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

When to call us in Gushmere
Grease filters that do not seal let fat straight through. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should, and build-up speeds up.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Grease leaking from duct joints
Belmont House and Gardens, about 3.6 miles west, is one of the historic houses near Gushmere; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Grease, kitchens and Gushmere
Gushmere, about 47 miles from central London, is within our usual area. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Environmental health officers from Swale council inspect food businesses in Gushmere. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run a café or takeaway near Selling station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Gushmere, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Why act early in Gushmere
Old grease in a duct for a kitchen in Gushmere does not stay soft. Heat and age turn it into a thick, stubborn crust, so the later the clean, the bigger the job. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
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.

How we price ductwork cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Parking and loading at the site
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition of the system
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

Gushmere questions
Can a school canteen extract in Gushmere be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Gushmere, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
Who inspects food businesses in Gushmere?
Food hygiene inspections in Gushmere are carried out by Swale council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
Duct length, access and grease levels all affect it. As a guide, it takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?
At least as often as BESA guidance sets for your cooking hours. Kitchens cooking 12 to 16 hours a day need it at least every 3 months, while lighter use can go longer.
What about areas you cannot get to?
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.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Ducts in taller or shared buildings often run past other occupiers. We plan access with you and the building manager, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
Bends and transitions
A bend can hold far more grease than a straight run of the same length. We clean it back by hand and with degreaser, and test it before and after.
