What we’re called out for in North Street
A vertical riser can run up several floors. Grease collects on the riser walls and gathers at the bottom as liquid grease runs down. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
For schools such as Sheldwich Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

How we handle ductwork cleaning in North Street
We’ve been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and our certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Typical jobs include duct runs with no cleaning record and a rancid smell from the extract duct, across bends and junctions, horizontal duct runs and access panels.
In a village or hamlet like North Street, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What affects the quote in North Street
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition we find in the survey
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Honest limits
Ductwork cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- Fire dampers that don’t close (they need testing and remedials)
- An extract fan that has stopped working
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Vertical risers
- Bends and junctions
- Access panels
- Multi-storey ducts
- Attenuators
What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the ductwork cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near North Street, let us know and we will plan around it.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- Readings, pictures and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Nearby places to North Street
Also in North Street
For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Common questions in North Street
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in North Street?
The local authority for North Street is Swale council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Who is the fire and rescue service for North Street?
That is 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.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in North Street?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. For a quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What happens if there aren’t 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.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Are you accredited?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Do not switch the extract off early
- Keep to the interval on the report
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It records the date, the location and the technician.
Keep the fan on throughout service. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
Ductwork cleaning around North Street
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central North Street. Each kitchen that cooks under a canopy sends grease-laden air into a duct, where it cools and settles. In North Street, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Swale council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in North Street falls to 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St James, or anywhere in North Street, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Historic houses near North Street, such as Belmont House and Gardens about 2 miles south-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
