About our ductwork cleaning in Lamberhurst
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? Tell us about the system when you call 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll send you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, normally within one working day. Typical jobs include proof of duct cleaning for the insurer and grease seeping out of the duct seams, on attenuators, access panels and vertical risers.
Work in a small place like Lamberhurst starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Ductwork cleaning in Lamberhurst: the local picture
Look up Lamberhurst on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Lamberhurst. Where they cook under a canopy, grease doesn’t stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. Environmental health officers from Tunbridge Wells council inspect food businesses in Lamberhurst. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Lamberhurst. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Lamberhurst is Ticehurst House Hospital, about 3.5 miles south. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Lamberhurst (Scotney Castle is about 0.9 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.

Lamberhurst questions

Which fire authority looks after Lamberhurst?
Fire safety enforcement in Lamberhurst is handled by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Is Lamberhurst in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Lamberhurst included.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
How long will the duct clean take?
It takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. We will confirm the time when we quote.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
Any section we cannot reach is recorded on the report, as TR19 expects. We can fit new access panels so they’re cleaned next time.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we typically come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.

Readings, pictures and, for a full clean, a TR19 certificate. The report says when the next clean is due.
Common problems we fix in Lamberhurst
Ducts in Lamberhurst gather grease for the same reasons as ducts anywhere: hours of cooking, the type of food and how well the filters are kept. Under BESA guidance, the minimum interval is 3, 6 or 12 months, by daily cooking hours.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Lamberhurst, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What else we do in Lamberhurst
How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Somewhere like Lamberhurst, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Advice
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Keep your cleaning records together
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It shows when and where the clean was done and by whom.
Have access panels fitted where sections can’t be reached. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
Why act early in Lamberhurst
Under BESA guidance, the mean grease level should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans. A reading of 500 microns or more at any point means a spot clean right away. Putting off the clean only pushes readings higher. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Lamberhurst rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What the work involves, part by part
Attenuators and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to reduce noise, but they can hold grease in their linings. We clean what can be reached and note anything that can’t.
Horizontal duct runs
The underside of a horizontal duct collects the most grease. We scrape out the heavy layer first, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
