Why deal with it now?
Old grease in a duct for a kitchen in Sevington doesn’t stay soft. Heat and age turn it into a thick, stubborn crust, so the later the clean, the bigger the job. If the system at a site near Sevington fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Ductwork cleaning in Sevington
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 pictures. Common call-outs are for an insurer asking for TR19 evidence and grease seeping out of the duct seams, across access panels, horizontal duct runs and bends and junctions.
In a small place like Sevington, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Sevington.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- 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.
- Post-clean readings and photos go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Getting a quote

Fire safety in Sevington 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.

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
You will have a recommended date for the next clean, based on the readings and your daily cooking hours, in line with BESA guidance.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. A change in cooking hours may change the interval under BESA guidance, and grease thickness testing will show it.

Common problems we fix in Sevington
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease clings to the walls and can run down to the base as liquid grease runs down. Access along its height is needed to clean it properly.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- High readings at a recent grease test
School kitchens, at schools like Willesborough Junior School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What paperwork you get at the end

What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something 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.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
What the work involves, part by part
Bends and transitions
Transitions from the canopy spigot into the duct catch a lot of grease. We reach it from the plenum side where possible.
Access panels
Every section of duct is cleaned through an access panel. Without them, parts of the duct can’t be reached and the report has to say so.
FAQs for Sevington
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Sevington?
The local authority for Sevington 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.
Do you work overnight in Sevington?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Sevington does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
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, photos and any sections we couldn’t reach.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What do you need from me for a quote?
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. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before any work starts.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
