Ductwork cleaning in Milton Regis, done properly
Duct Doctor has cleaned kitchen extract ductwork since 2009, working across London and the South East. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and our certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Common call-outs are for grease pooling at the foot of the riser and grease leaking from duct joints, across vertical risers, attenuators and access panels.
Somewhere as small as Milton Regis, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Why deal with it now?
Booking the duct clean in Milton Regis now keeps it a planned job. It takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct, done out of hours so the kitchen keeps cooking. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

How the visit works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Milton Regis before we set off.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Preparing for the visit

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is 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, and that’s where we come in.
How we price ductwork cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Parking and loading at the site
- The scale of the work
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The site address and the type of premises
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Grease, kitchens and Milton Regis
Milton Regis is within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The Food Standards Agency lists about 20 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses in and around Milton Regis, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Milton Regis sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you cook for passing trade around Sittingbourne station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Milton Regis, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Sunny Bank Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

FAQs for Milton Regis
Which fire service covers Milton Regis?
Milton Regis is in the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you cover smaller places like Milton Regis?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Milton Regis is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
BESA guidance sets minimum intervals by daily cooking hours: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate and 12-monthly for light use. Measured grease sets the real interval.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Send a few wide pictures plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. If photos are not enough, we will survey first.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
Drips, smells and weak extraction are clues, but the only sure way is to measure. A WFTT or DTT reading gives a clear answer.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover

Part by part
Bends and transitions
A bend can hold far more grease than a straight run of the same length. We clean it back by hand and with degreaser, and readings are taken there before and after.
Access panels
Panels have to seal properly once they’re closed so the duct stays tight. We will tell you if any panel needs replacing.
