Common questions in New Romney
Which fire authority looks after New Romney?
Kent Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for New Romney. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you work in New Romney outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in New Romney needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we usually come back within one working day. If photos are not enough, we’ll survey first.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in New Romney?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. For a quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
How often should kitchen ducts be cleaned?
BESA guidance sets minimum intervals by daily cooking hours: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Measured grease sets the real interval.
Ductwork cleaning in New Romney
In doctor’s terms, the ductwork is the system’s arteries: find the blockages, clear them, then check the flow is right. Readings taken before and after show the difference, alongside before and after pictures. The work covers horizontal duct runs, access panels and attenuators, and the jobs we see most are hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs and a grease test showing the duct is overdue.
For a smaller kitchen near New Romney, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Managing agents and facilities teams in New Romney
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Why it’s worth doing now in New Romney
TR19® isn’t law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. The Fire Safety Order 2005 makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. In a smaller place like New Romney, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
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. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

What else we do in New Romney
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Tell us when your site near New Romney is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
The report gives a recommended next clean date, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
Keep the fan on throughout service. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
What the work involves, part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A fire in a duct in a shared building can affect far more than one kitchen, so the responsible person has more reason to keep it clean. The paperwork suits landlords and managing agents.
Access panels
Panels have to seal properly once they’re closed, so grease and air stay inside the duct. A damaged panel is noted on the report.
Grease, kitchens and New Romney
New Romney lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The FSA’s data shows about 7 pubs, bars and clubs registered in New Romney and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers New Romney. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in New Romney, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. School kitchens, at schools like St Nicholas Church of England Primary Academy for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
New Romney is about 8 miles south-west of Hythe, in Kent. New Romney gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with photos.

What ductwork cleaning can’t fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
- Sections that can’t be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- Faulty fire dampers
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
