Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Romney Street
Every duct has its own route. Some run a short distance to an outside wall, others climb several floors to the roof. The survey traces the route and finds every access point before we quote. The work covers vertical risers, access panels and multi-storey ducts, and people most often call us about high readings at a recent grease test and duct runs with no cleaning record.
Work in a small place like Romney Street 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What affects the quote in Romney Street
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The number of sites or systems
- Any permits to work or inductions
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the area around them is cleaned down. Waste grease and water are taken away.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
What we do, step by step
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Romney Street and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
How to get a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Related advice
What we are called out for in Romney Street
Air cools as it moves away from the canopy. Cooling air drops its grease onto the inside of the duct, so duct runs keep collecting grease long after the canopy.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Sevenoaks Hospital about 3.3 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Before booking anyone

- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether they’re fully insured
- If they look at the system before pricing
For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Ductwork cleaning in Romney Street: the local picture
At about 18 miles from central London, Romney Street sits well inside the area we cover. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Romney Street sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of Saint Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Romney Street, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Historic houses near Romney Street, such as Lullingstone Castle about 2.3 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Common questions in Romney Street
Will you come out to Romney Street?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you work overnight in Romney Street?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
We measure it. Readings are taken by Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). BESA guidance says the mean shouldn’t exceed 200 microns, and 500 or more anywhere needs immediate spot cleaning.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
Without a way in, a section can’t be cleaned properly. Those parts are listed, and we can install panels so they’re reached next time.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What happens if it’s left?
TR19® isn’t law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the duct is part of that. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
