Ductwork cleaning in London Beach, done properly
In doctor’s terms, the ductwork is the system’s arteries: diagnose where grease has built up, clear it and confirm the result. Grease readings before and after give you the evidence, alongside before and after photos. If you are dealing with duct runs with no cleaning record and duct runs that can’t be reached, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like London Beach, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Why act early in London Beach
A partly blocked duct slows the airflow. Less air moves, so heat and smoke stay in the kitchen while the fan strains and grease can drip from duct joints. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to London Beach is calmer for everyone.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

How the job changes from site to site
Access panels
Every section of duct is cleaned through an access panel. Where there are none, those sections can’t be cleaned and the report has to say so.
Attenuators and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, quieten the extract, and their linings can soak up grease. They’re cleaned where possible and recorded if not.

When to call us in London Beach
A greasy duct is a fire path, in London Beach as anywhere. Once it lights, fire can spread along the duct and into other areas, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Benenden Hospital (about 3.2 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What ductwork cleaning looks like in London Beach
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs and bars across London Beach and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. The fire and rescue service for London Beach is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Environmental health officers from Ashford council inspect food businesses in London Beach. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Michael or anywhere around London Beach, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Michael's Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

London Beach: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in London Beach?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and London Beach is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for London Beach?
Fire safety enforcement in London Beach 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.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The report shows readings, photos and any sections we couldn’t reach.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in London Beach
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- The condition we find in the survey
- How easy every part is to reach
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Where the site is and how we reach it
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- A few general shots of the system
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
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, you get a fixed price before we start.
