About our ductwork cleaning in Hall's Green
Between the canopy and the fan runs the ductwork, hidden above ceilings and inside walls. Grease settles along every metre of it and a fire in the duct can spread through the building. We clean it from the inside, through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. We are often asked to deal with high readings at a recent grease test and years of grease along the duct floor, on bends and junctions, access panels and multi-storey ducts.
For a kitchen in or near Hall's Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Hall's Green questions
Can you come to Hall's Green after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Hall's Green keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you work in villages like Hall's Green?
Yes. Hall's Green 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.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
It depends on the length of the duct, the number of access panels and how much grease there is. As a guide, it takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
How we price ductwork cleaning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The times the site is available
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site rules, permits and inductions
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

How the job changes from site to site
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Long ducts in larger buildings can mean several visits. We agree a sequence that suits the building, out of hours where possible.
Access panels
After cleaning, every panel is closed and sealed, so grease and air stay inside the duct. A damaged panel is noted on the report.
When to call us in Hall's Green
A duct with too few access doors cannot be fully cleaned. Sections between panels go uncleaned, sometimes since the system was installed, and the grease there keeps building out of sight.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Sections of duct with no access panels
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St George, or anywhere in Hall's Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What your quote should include
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the price is fixed
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections can’t be reached
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Diarise the next duct clean
The report names every part of the duct that couldn’t be reached, with the reason. You can then decide whether to have access panels fitted.
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.
Leave it or put it right?
There’s no law that names TR19. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. In a place like Hall's Green, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
What you get with us
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

Ductwork cleaning around Hall's Green
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Hall's Green. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. In Hall's Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Sevenoaks council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Hall's Green falls to 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.

- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- 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 pictures repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
