FAQs for Postling Green
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Postling Green?
The local authority for Postling Green is Ashford council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Postling Green?
It’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Postling Green. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, you get a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The report shows readings, pictures and any sections we couldn’t reach.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before work begins.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
About our ductwork cleaning in Postling Green
We treat ductwork like a doctor treats arteries: diagnose where grease has built up, clear it and confirm the result. Readings taken before and after show the difference, alongside before and after photos. If you are dealing with fat dripping from the ductwork and sections of duct with no access panels, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Postling Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

What else we do in Postling Green
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Postling Green.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- Readings and pictures are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Leave it or put it right?
A partly blocked duct slows the airflow. The fan works harder, the kitchen gets hotter and smoke lingers at the canopy and grease can drip from duct joints. Planning a trip to Postling Green ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What you get with us
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- In business since 2009

How we price ductwork cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- What state the system is in
- The size of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
- A single visit or a regular plan
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The site address and the type of premises
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- Faulty fire dampers
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on in Postling Green
- Horizontal duct runs
- Multi-storey ducts
- Access panels
- Attenuators
- Vertical risers
- Bends and junctions
How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
The underside of a horizontal duct collects the most grease. Thick deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
Access panels
Access panels are the doors that let us into the duct. Without them, parts of the duct cannot be reached and the report has to say so.
Kitchen extracts in Postling Green
Postling Green is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Environmental health officers from Ashford council inspect food businesses in Postling Green. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
School kitchens, at schools like Aldington Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Historic houses near Postling Green, such as Westenhanger Castle about 3.2 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Martin, or anywhere in Postling Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections cannot be reached
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 shows when and where the clean was done and by whom.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
