How we handle ductwork cleaning in Perry

No two duct runs are the same, in Perry or anywhere else. A few metres to an outside wall, or a riser up through the building to a roof fan. The survey traces the route and finds every access point before we quote. Common call-outs are for heavy grease at the base of a riser and ductwork that has never been cleaned, on bends and junctions, attenuators and multi-storey ducts.

Work in a small place like Perry starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.

A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What ductwork cleaning cannot fix

It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:

  • Parts of the duct with no way in
  • A duct that is too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
  • An extract fan that has stopped working

Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.

Where we work

  • Vertical risers
  • Horizontal duct runs
  • Attenuators
  • Bends and junctions
  • Access panels
  • Multi-storey ducts

Why act early in Perry

Under BESA guidance, the mean grease level should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans. A reading of 500 microns or more at any point means a spot clean straight away. Leaving the duct makes those limits harder to keep to. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.

No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Do you need ductwork cleaning in Perry?

Many ducts don’t have enough access panels. Sections between panels go uncleaned, sometimes since the system was installed, and the grease there keeps building out of sight.

It’s time to book a visit if you see:

  • An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
  • A rancid smell from the extract duct
  • A duct nobody has opened in years
  • Thick crusts of old grease along the duct

Church and community hall kitchens, near Elmstone Church or anywhere around Perry, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Before you book anyone

  • When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
  • Proof of insurance
  • Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
  • Whether VAT is included

Questions to ask before you book

Between visits

So the system stays in good health:

  • Check readings when the menu changes
  • Diarise the next duct clean
  • Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
  • Keep your cleaning records together

Any section of duct we couldn’t reach is listed on the report and why. You can then decide whether to have access panels fitted.

The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.

Common questions in Perry

Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Perry?

Fire safety enforcement in Perry is handled by 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.

Can you come to Perry after we close?

Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Perry keeps running as normal. When you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.

Can you come out in an emergency?

Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.

Do you work in Perry?

Yes. We cover Perry and the rest of Kent, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.

Can extra access doors be added to the duct?

Yes, we fit access panels where the duct needs them. That lets the next clean reach sections that were missed, and the report will show where they’re needed.

How do you clean inside the ductwork?

We survey the route, test the grease, then open the access panels. We clean the runs and risers section by section, then the readings are repeated.

Which sectors do you work in?

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.

How we price ductwork cleaning

We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:

  • The condition of the system
  • The size of the system
  • Any permits to work or inductions
  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends

One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.

Asking for a quote

A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:

  • Any previous report or certificate
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • A few general shots of the system
  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.

What we do, step by step

There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. In a small place like Perry, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.

  1. The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
  2. Grease thickness is measured at set points.
  3. Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
  4. Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
  5. Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Get a fixed quote

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: 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 we can price many jobs without a visit.

What the work involves, part by part

Access panels

After cleaning, every panel is closed and sealed so the duct stays tight. We will tell you if any panel needs replacing.

Vertical risers

In taller buildings, a riser may pass through several floors and fire compartments, where fire dampers may be fitted. We test those as a separate job.

Perry kitchens: local notes

Environmental health officers from Dover council inspect food businesses in Perry. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Perry, about 59 miles from central London, is within our usual area. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.

If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Goodnestone Park is about 3.1 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Preston Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
