Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Pedlinge
Once air leaves the canopy, it travels through ductwork that most people never see. Grease settles along every metre of it and a fire in the duct can spread through the building. Our ductwork cleaning reaches inside the runs and risers through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. The work covers vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and attenuators, and common reasons people get in touch are an insurer asking for TR19 evidence and duct runs with no cleaning record.
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. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, 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.

For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Honest limits
Ductwork cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It doesn’t solve:
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Bends and junctions
- Attenuators
- Vertical risers
- Access panels
- Multi-storey ducts
- Horizontal duct runs
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the surrounding area is left clean. Waste grease and water are taken away.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: grease leaking from duct joints, smells, or a fan that sounds rough. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.

Pedlinge questions
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Pedlinge?
It’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Pedlinge. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Pedlinge?
In Pedlinge, it’s Folkestone and Hythe council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, normally ready within one working day.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
Through access panels along the duct. Thick deposits are removed by hand before degreasing, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.

Why act early in Pedlinge
A fire in a greasy duct is hard to reach and hard to stop. The duct can carry it to rooms, floors or roof spaces well away from the kitchen, which is why the duct matters as much as the canopy. It’s simpler to plan the work at Pedlinge now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.

Part by part
Bends and transitions
Bends, elbows and changes of size are where grease collects most. Slowing air leaves grease behind, so we clean these points carefully.
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.
The process
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Pedlinge.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.

- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
How to prepare

Kitchen extracts in Pedlinge
Sea air reaches Pedlinge, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Food Standards Agency data counts about 27 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 12 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Pedlinge. Where they cook under a canopy, grease does not stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. Food hygiene inspections in Pedlinge are the job of Folkestone and Hythe council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A kitchen near Sandling station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Pedlinge Chapel, or anywhere in Pedlinge, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Royal Victoria Hospital about 5.1 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
