Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Potters Corner
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? A few details about the system are a good start when you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will give you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, normally within one working day. If you are dealing with stale grease odours from the duct and a duct clean needed for an insurer, we can help, from multi-storey ducts, access panels and vertical risers onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Potters Corner, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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, whatever the size of the place.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off.

Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Why deal with it now?
Dealing with the ductwork in Potters Corner now beats dealing with it after a problem. The work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points, done out of hours so the kitchen keeps cooking. In a small place like Potters Corner, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
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.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. A change in cooking hours may change the interval under BESA guidance, and grease thickness testing will show it.
Potters Corner: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Potters Corner?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Potters Corner keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Which fire service covers Potters Corner?
Kent Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Potters Corner. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
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.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Usually, yes. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote usually follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
We survey the route, test the grease, then open the access panels. We clean the runs and risers section by section, and test again when we are done.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What a clean will not put right
Ductwork cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It does not solve:
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- Parts of the duct with no way in
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Access panels
- Attenuators
- Bends and junctions
- Multi-storey ducts
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Potters Corner?
Wherever the kitchen is, in Potters Corner or elsewhere, the duct fills in the same way: daily cooking hours, the menu and the state of the filters. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily use.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
For schools such as Goat Lees Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What to look for in a quote
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the price is fixed
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Ductwork cleaning in Potters Corner: the local picture
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Potters Corner, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Food hygiene inspections in Potters Corner are the job of Ashford council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Potters Corner falls to 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 run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Godinton House is about 1.2 miles south-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
