About our ductwork cleaning in Mystole

Between the canopy and the fan runs the ductwork, hidden above ceilings and inside walls. Grease settles along every metre of it, and that is where a kitchen fire can travel. We clean it from the inside, through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. If you are dealing with a grease test showing the duct is overdue and a duct nobody has opened in years, we can put it right, from horizontal duct runs, bends and junctions and multi-storey ducts onwards.

Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.

Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What we do, step by step

At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Mystole run smoothly.

  1. First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
  2. You get a fixed price before work starts.
  3. Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
  4. We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
  5. The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.

How to prepare

  • Agree a time when the area can be out of use
  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Different parts, different methods

Access panels

We can fit new access panels where the duct needs them, so the next clean reaches more of the system. We will recommend where they should go.

Attenuators and discharge

Some systems have attenuators to reduce noise, and their linings can soak up grease. We clean what can be reached and note anything that can’t.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Mystole

Your quote is based on your site. We consider:

  • The number of sites or systems
  • The condition of the system
  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
  • Any permits to work or inductions

You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will talk you through it.

What to send for a quote

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:

  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • The site address and the type of premises
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.

Ductwork cleaning in Mystole: the local picture

At about 50 miles from central London, Mystole sits well inside the area we cover. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. The fire and rescue service for Mystole is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.

A hospital like Kent and Canterbury Hospital, about 3.8 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Mystole, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. For schools such as Chartham Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Mystole is about 4 miles south-west of Canterbury, in Kent. Across the CT4 area, we can carry out ductwork cleaning at your premises. Our Kent coverage runs to 922 places, Mystole among them. There’s also a page for Maidstone, about 21 miles away.

We cover every part of the CT4 postcode area for ductwork cleaning and the streets around it. Whether your site is on Thruxted Lane and Mystole Lane or anywhere close by, our technicians can take on the work. Other places close to Mystole include Shalmsford Street (1 mile east), Chartham (1 mile north-east), Garlinge Green (1 mile south-east), Chartham Hatch (2 miles north) and Petham (2 miles south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Ashford (9 miles south-west), Canterbury (4 miles north-east), Dover (15 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (13 miles north-west), Folkestone (13 miles south-east) and Whitstable (7 miles north).

Landmarks near Mystole

What happens if it’s left?

Booking the duct clean in Mystole now keeps it a planned job. The work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct, done out of hours so the kitchen keeps cooking. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.

Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Why book with us

  • Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
  • One number for every site across the South East and London
  • Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
  • CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001

Multi-site and managed buildings

When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.

Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.

When something else is needed

We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:

  • Ductwork that is corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
  • A worn-out fan that needs replacing
  • Undersized or badly laid-out ducts

If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Where we work

  • Vertical risers
  • Horizontal duct runs
  • Attenuators
  • Access panels
  • Bends and junctions
  • Multi-storey ducts

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Mystole

Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Mystole?

Mystole is in the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.

Can you work in Mystole outside opening hours?

Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Mystole does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.

Can you set up regular visits?

Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.

Do you work with multi-site operators?

Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.

Does the law say we must follow TR19?

No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.

Who has the legal duty for fire safety?

The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.

Where does the waste go?

It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
