About our ductwork cleaning in New Street
No two duct runs are the same, in New Street or anywhere else. A few metres to an outside wall, or a riser up through the building to a roof fan. We map the route during the survey and finds every access point before we quote. We’re often asked to deal with an insurer asking for TR19 evidence and stale grease odours from the duct, across vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and bends and junctions.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Questions from New Street
Do you work at weekends in New Street?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in New Street needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in New Street during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of New Street. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Do you work in New Street?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes New Street.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
After a survey and grease readings, the duct is opened up through its access panels. We clean the runs and risers section by section, then the readings are repeated.
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.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
Leave it or put it right?
A fire in a greasy duct is hard to reach and hard to stop. It can travel through the ductwork to other parts of the building, which is why the duct matters as much as the canopy. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to New Street is calmer for everyone.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Ductwork cleaning around New Street
Food Standards Agency records include about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs across New Street and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Food hygiene inspections in New Street are the job of Gravesham council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers New Street. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Culverstone Green Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Where a hall near Church of Saint Peter, or anywhere in New Street, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Cobham College is about 3.6 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Part by part
Attenuators and discharge
The discharge is where the duct ends and air leaves the building. Grease can collect there and stain the area around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
Vertical risers
In taller buildings, a riser may pass through several floors and fire compartments, so fire dampers may be fitted where it crosses them. We test those as a separate job.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. The timing of a visit to New Street is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- We test again, take photos and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

What else we do in New Street
What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- An extract fan that has stopped working
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Multi-storey ducts
- Access panels
- Attenuators
- Horizontal duct runs
- Bends and junctions
- Vertical risers
Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Diarise the next duct clean
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.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The size of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
