How we handle ductwork cleaning in Pearson's Green
Many ducts were installed with too few access doors. Where a section cannot be reached, TR19 expects it to be recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted to reach it in future. An honest report beats a guess. If you have grease leaking from duct joints and a grease test showing the duct is overdue, we can help, from multi-storey ducts, attenuators and vertical risers onwards.
In a small place like Pearson's Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos 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 happens if it’s left?
A dirty duct is something insurers ask about. Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and a claim may be refused or reduced without evidence. Your certificate and photo report show the ducts were cleaned. In a small place like Pearson's Green, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

- Survey first, then a fixed quote

- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use

Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Pearson's Green
Damaged or poorly fitted filters let more grease into the duct. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should, and build-up speeds up.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
A hospital like Tunbridge Wells Hospital, about 5.1 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Pearson's Green kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Pearson's Green. The duct above a busy canopy coats itself in grease long before anyone sees it. Food hygiene inspections in Pearson's Green are the job of Tunbridge Wells council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Pearson's Green is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Mascalls School or anywhere near Pearson's Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Scotney Castle is about 5 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the surrounding area is left clean. Waste grease and water are taken away.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Pearson's Green
Do you work at weekends in Pearson's Green?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you cover smaller places like Pearson's Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Pearson's Green included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
We measure it. Using a Wet Film Thickness Test or Deposit Thickness Test, we check the grease at set points. A mean above 200 microns, or 500 microns at any point, means it’s due.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is 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.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Pearson's Green
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
The process
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Pearson's Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- We test again, take pictures and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
