About our ductwork cleaning in Sinkhurst Green
We treat ductwork like a doctor treats arteries: find the blockages, clear them, then check the flow is right. Grease readings before and after give you the evidence, alongside before and after pictures. If you’re dealing with a rancid smell from the extract duct and heavy grease at the base of a riser, we can help, from multi-storey ducts, horizontal duct runs and attenuators onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Sinkhurst Green, 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Sinkhurst Green knowing what to expect.
- 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
- Clear the space around the work
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
You’ll have a recommended date for the next clean, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
Have access panels fitted where sections can’t be reached. It doesn’t stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Sinkhurst Green?
Many ducts do not have enough access panels. Stretches with no way in may never have been touched, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Stale grease odours from the duct
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Benenden Hospital is the nearest hospital to Sinkhurst Green, about 4.6 miles south.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Ductwork cleaning around Sinkhurst Green
About 38 miles out from central London, Sinkhurst Green is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Kent Fire and Rescue Service covers Sinkhurst Green. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Frittenden Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Sinkhurst Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Sinkhurst Green questions
Do you work overnight in Sinkhurst Green?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Sinkhurst Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Sinkhurst Green?
Sinkhurst Green is in the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
The duct is cleaned as part of the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance, ranging from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Grease thickness testing shows whether that’s often enough.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
A photo report, with readings and before and after photos, plus a TR19 certificate for a full system clean. It also gives a recommended next clean date.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
Sections out of reach are written down on the report, in line with TR19. We can fit new access panels so they’re cleaned next time.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Different parts, different methods
Access panels
After cleaning, every panel is closed and sealed so the duct stays tight. A damaged panel is noted on the report.
Bends and transitions
Bends, elbows and changes of size are where grease collects most. Slowing air leaves grease behind, so we clean these points carefully.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Sinkhurst Green
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- Parts of the duct with no way in
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
