Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Ductwork cleaning in Nash, done properly
Ductwork in Nash is cleaned the same thorough way as everywhere else we work: we test the grease first, remove thick deposits by hand and degrease what’s left. Post-clean readings and photos complete the record. The work covers access panels, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs, and the jobs we see most are smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork and a grease test showing the duct is overdue.
For a kitchen in or near Nash, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

How the visit works
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. All told, the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. In a small place like Nash, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- What state the system is in
- The times the site is available
- How easy every part is to reach
- Parking and loading at the site
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

- A few general shots of the system

Do you need ductwork cleaning in Nash?
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease collects on the riser walls and gathers at the bottom as liquid grease runs down. Access along its height is needed to clean it properly.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
A hospital like St Martins Hospital, about 6 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Questions to ask before booking
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether VAT is included

Part by part
Access panels
After cleaning, every panel is closed and sealed so the duct stays tight. A damaged panel is noted on the report.
Bends and transitions
Grease tends to pile up at elbows. It’s scraped out and degreased, and readings are taken there before and after.
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Don’t switch the extract off early
The report gives a recommended next clean date, based on the readings and your daily cooking hours, in line with BESA guidance.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. It doesn’t stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
Why deal with it now?
There’s no law that names TR19. The Fire Safety Order 2005 makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the duct is part of that. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Ductwork cleaning around Nash
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Nash. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Fire safety in Nash falls to 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 Dover council inspect food businesses in Nash. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Historic houses near Nash, such as Goodnestone Park about 3 miles south, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Elmstone Church, or anywhere in Nash, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Questions from Nash
Who inspects food businesses in Nash?
Kitchens in Nash are inspected by Dover council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can a school canteen extract in Nash be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Nash, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
What happens if there are not enough access panels?
Every reachable section is cleaned and the rest recorded. Fitting extra access panels is the usual answer, and we can do that for you.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
It takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
Do you cover Nash?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Nash included.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
The date on the last certificate is the first thing to check. If it’s overdue, or there isn’t one, a clean is due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
