A vertical riser can run up several floors. Grease clings to the walls and can run down to the base, where it can pool. Access along its height is needed to clean it properly.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
In and around Kentsboro, every reachable section of the extract is cleaned, and anything we cannot reach goes on the report.

How we handle ductwork cleaning in Kentsboro
We’ve been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, our duct cleaning is done to BESA TR19® Grease, and our certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Typical jobs include smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork and an insurer asking for TR19 evidence, across access panels, bends and junctions and attenuators.
Work in a small place like Kentsboro starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Why act early in Kentsboro
Fire inside a duct is out of sight and out of reach. It can travel through the ductwork to other parts of the building, so cleaning the duct is as important as cleaning the hood. In a place like Kentsboro, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.

How it works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Visits to a village like Kentsboro are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- Readings and photos are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Kentsboro
Which fire service covers Kentsboro?
Kentsboro is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can the work in Kentsboro be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How long will the duct clean take?
Allow from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, so the report shows the before and after figures. Before and after photos sit next to the numbers.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- A damper stuck open in the duct
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The condition of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
- How many systems or sites are involved
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Any previous report or certificate
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The postcode and the type of business
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
