How we handle ductwork cleaning in Round Street
In doctor’s terms, the ductwork is the system’s arteries: find the blockages, clear them, then check the flow is right. Readings taken before and after show the difference, alongside before and after photos. If you’re dealing with sections of duct with no access panels and an insurer asking for TR19 evidence, we can help, from multi-storey ducts, attenuators and bends and junctions onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Round Street, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Round Street
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The scale of the work
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same.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 send you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What a clean won’t put right
Ductwork cleaning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It won’t put right:
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- Parts of the duct with no way in
- A damper stuck open in the duct
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Do you need ductwork cleaning in Round Street?
Ducts in Round Street gather grease for the same reasons as ducts anywhere: hours of cooking, the type of food and how well the filters are kept. Under BESA guidance, the minimum interval is 3, 6 or 12 months, by daily cooking hours.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- High readings at a recent grease test
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Mary's Room or elsewhere in Round Street, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What your quote should include
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- What’s included in the scope, part by part

What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it 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 a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Round Street can be planned properly.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- 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
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Advice
Round Street questions
Do you work in villages like Round Street?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Round Street is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which fire authority looks after Round Street?
It’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Round Street. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What should I send you?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Do you install duct access panels?
Yes. The survey or clean shows where sections couldn’t be reached, and fitting them means future cleans are more complete.
How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?
Drips, smells and weak extraction are clues, but the only sure way is to measure. Grease thickness testing shows exactly where the duct stands.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
It depends on the length of the duct, the number of access panels and how much grease there is. As a guide, it takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the area around them is cleaned down. Waste grease and water are taken away.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. It doesn’t stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
What happens if it’s left?
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. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Round Street is calmer for everyone.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.

What ductwork cleaning looks like in Round Street
The FSA’s data shows about 8 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Round Street. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Environmental health officers from Gravesham council inspect food businesses in Round Street. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in Round Street falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
For schools such as Cobham Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Commuter trade near Sole Street station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.
