About our ductwork cleaning in Horns Green
Every duct has its own route. Some run a short distance to an outside wall, others climb several floors to the roof. The survey traces the route, so we know where to get in and how long it will take. If you are dealing with grease seeping out of the duct seams and a rancid smell from the extract duct, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Horns Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What affects the quote in Horns Green
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- A few general shots of the system
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is

What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem 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.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
The process
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Horns Green.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Get a fixed quote
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
- Never cook with a filter missing
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the surrounding area is left clean. Waste grease and water are taken away.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Horns Green
Slow air leaves the most grease behind. Flat runs, bends, reducers and the base of risers are the usual hotspots, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Orpington Hospital is the nearest hospital to Horns Green, about 3.8 miles north.
What your quote should include
- When the next visit should be, and why
- What paperwork you get at the end
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
Part by part
Access panels
Access panels are the doors that let us into the duct. Without them, parts of the duct can’t be reached and the report has to say so.
Bends and transitions
Bends, elbows and changes of size are where grease collects most. The air slows and drops its load, so these points get extra attention.
Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Horns Green
Can you come to Horns Green after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who inspects food businesses in Horns Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Horns Green are carried out by Bromley council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
How long will the duct clean take?
Allow a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes. We’ll point out where panels are needed, and we can fit them so those sections are cleaned in future.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the photos show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Why deal with it now?
A partly blocked duct slows the airflow. Less air moves, so heat and smoke stay in the kitchen while the fan strains, and grease may start to leak from joints. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

Horns Green kitchens: local notes
The fire and rescue service for Horns Green is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. It’s Bromley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Horns Green. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Horns Green (Down House is about 2.1 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere in Horns Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
