Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Murston
In doctor’s terms, the ductwork is the system’s arteries: find the blockages, clear them, then check the flow is right. Grease readings before and after give you the evidence, alongside before and after photos. The work covers horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and attenuators, and the jobs we see most are thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct and thick crusts of old grease along the duct.
In a smaller place like Murston, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Murston and across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
How we price ductwork cleaning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- A single visit or a regular plan
The cost 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 work begins, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
If you need ductwork cleaning in Murston, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.

Murston kitchens: local notes
Murston lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Look up Murston on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 69 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 36 takeaways across Murston and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each kitchen that cooks under a canopy sends grease-laden air into a duct, where it cools and settles. In Murston, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Swale council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Commuter trade near Sittingbourne station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Murston, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What ductwork cleaning can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what ductwork cleaning will not do:
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
- 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 use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Vertical risers
- Bends and junctions
- Multi-storey ducts
- Horizontal duct runs
- Attenuators
- Access panels
Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Murston
Grease settles fastest where the air slows down. Flat runs, bends, reducers and the base of risers are the usual hotspots, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Sunny Bank Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. 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 work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Murston.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- We test again, take photos and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

FAQs for Murston
Will you come out to Murston?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Murston included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can school kitchens in Murston be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 17 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Murston. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
Short runs are quick, but long or complex ducts may take several visits. Visits are planned out of hours.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections can’t be reached
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the area around them is cleaned down. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
Why it’s worth doing now in Murston
Grease left in a duct in Murston hardens over time. It bakes into a hard layer that takes far longer to remove, so the later the clean, the bigger the job. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
