What we are called out for in Neames Forstal
Many ducts do not have enough access panels. Stretches with no way in may never have been touched, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- Years of grease along the duct floor
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Neames Forstal, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What your quote should include
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- How they set the interval to the next visit
About our ductwork cleaning in Neames Forstal
Not every duct has enough access panels. TR19 calls for any section we couldn’t reach to be recorded, and new panels can be fitted to reach it in future. It’s better to know than to assume. We’re often asked to deal with ductwork that has never been cleaned and grease pooling at the foot of the riser, on access panels, bends and junctions and horizontal duct runs.
In a small place like Neames Forstal, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Ductwork cleaning around Neames Forstal
In Neames Forstal, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Swale council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. About 47 miles out from central London, Neames Forstal is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
For schools such as Selling Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Eastbridge Hospital of St Thomas the Martyr about 5.9 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Neames Forstal questions
Which fire authority looks after Neames Forstal?
Neames Forstal 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 work in villages like Neames Forstal?
Yes, Neames Forstal is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What if part of the duct cannot be reached?
Sections out of reach are written down on the report, in line with TR19. New panels can be fitted to reach them in future.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, we fit access panels where the duct needs them. It means more of the duct can be cleaned next time, and the report will show where they’re needed.
Will the duct clean disrupt the kitchen?
Out of hours, at a time that suits the kitchen. Long ducts can be split across visits, with the kitchen ready to cook each morning.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.

What else we do in Neames Forstal
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Neames Forstal run smoothly.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- Readings, pictures and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Ask for a quote

Managing agents and facilities teams in Neames Forstal
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
In taller buildings, a riser may pass through several floors and fire compartments, where fire dampers may be fitted. Damper testing is a separate service.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A fire in a duct in a shared building can affect far more than one kitchen, which makes keeping it clean all the more important. Your certificate and report give building managers the record they need.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Neames Forstal
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The number of sites or systems
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced 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 explain each part.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any previous report or certificate
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
