Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
How we handle ductwork cleaning in Ryarsh
Once air leaves the canopy, it travels through ductwork that most people never see. Grease settles along every metre of it and a fire in the duct can spread through the building. We clean it from the inside, through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. If you have heavy grease at the base of a riser and years of grease along the duct floor, we can help.
Work in a small place like Ryarsh 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Different parts, different methods
Bends and transitions
Wherever the duct turns or changes size, grease builds up. The air slows and drops its load, so we clean these points carefully.
Horizontal duct runs
Long horizontal runs need access panels at regular intervals. Any stretch out of reach is noted and can fit extra panels.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
What a clean will not put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- Sections that can’t be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Questions from Ryarsh
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Ryarsh?
It’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Ryarsh. 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.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Ryarsh out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 9 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Ryarsh. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we usually come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
We get into the duct through its access panels. Thick deposits are removed by hand before degreasing, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
Any section we can’t reach is recorded on the report, as TR19 expects. New panels can be fitted to reach them in future.

Ryarsh kitchens: local notes
Look up Ryarsh on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 8 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Ryarsh. The duct above a busy canopy coats itself in grease long before anyone sees it. Environmental health officers from Tonbridge and Malling council inspect food businesses in Ryarsh. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Ryarsh falls to Kent Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Ryarsh Primary School or anywhere near Ryarsh, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Ryarsh (Starkey Castle is about 4.6 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.
Ryarsh is about 7 miles north-west of Maidstone, in Kent.

Why act early in Ryarsh
Old grease in a duct for a kitchen in Ryarsh does not stay soft. It bakes into a hard layer that takes far longer to remove, which makes each delayed clean a bigger one. With notice, the visit to Ryarsh can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

Common problems we fix in Ryarsh
A duct with too few access doors cannot be fully cleaned. Sections between panels go uncleaned, sometimes since the system was installed, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Stale grease odours from the duct
Where a hall near Church of St Martin, or anywhere in Ryarsh, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Questions to ask before booking
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor

What happens on the day
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Ryarsh and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- Post-clean readings and pictures go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
