For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Henhurst and across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Ductwork cleaning in Henhurst
We’ve been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, with each certificate issued through the BESCA portal. If you’re dealing with fat dripping from the ductwork and gaps where access panels were never fitted, we can put it right, from multi-storey ducts, access panels and vertical risers onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. 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.

Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, giving you before and after readings. Photos of each section go alongside them.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
What staff can safely do
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.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

Why act early in Henhurst
Grease narrows the duct and slows the air. Less air moves, so heat and smoke stay in the kitchen while the fan strains and grease can drip from duct joints. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Henhurst can be planned properly.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- Readings and photos are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Ductwork cleaning in Henhurst: the local picture
The FSA’s data shows about 6 pubs and bars registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Henhurst. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from Gravesham council inspect food businesses in Henhurst. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Henhurst 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Margaret or anywhere around Henhurst, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. For schools such as Singlewell Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Gravesham Community Hospital (about 3 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Questions from Henhurst
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Henhurst?
That’s Gravesham council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Henhurst. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you work in Henhurst outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Henhurst can fit around your hours. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
How often should kitchen ducts be cleaned?
The minimum depends on how long the kitchen cooks each day: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings may show it needs doing sooner.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report, in line with TR19. New panels can be fitted to reach them in future.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
You get a photo report with before and after pictures, plus a TR19 certificate when the whole system is cleaned. File them with the fire risk assessment.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Henhurst?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Ask us for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Part by part
Bends and transitions
Wherever the duct turns or changes size, grease builds up. The air slows and drops its load, so we clean these points carefully.
Attenuators and discharge
Near the discharge, the air has cooled the most, so it can collect more grease than expected. It’s tested and cleaned along with the rest.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Henhurst
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The times the site is available
- The condition we find in the survey
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
