Ductwork Cleaning in South Green
Ductwork cleaning in South Green, surveyed first and signed off with a written report and pictures. Call for a fixed quote.
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
What we’re called out for in South Green
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease clings to the walls and can run down to the base, where it can pool. Access along its height is needed to clean it properly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Mary Magdalene Church, or anywhere in South Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What your quote should include
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- When the next visit should be, and why
How we handle ductwork cleaning in South Green
Many ducts were installed with too few access doors. Where a section can’t be reached, TR19 expects it to be recorded on the report, and we can fit new access panels so it’s cleaned next time. It’s better to know than to assume. We’re often asked to deal with proof of duct cleaning for the insurer and ductwork that has never been cleaned, across horizontal duct runs, access panels and multi-storey ducts.
In a village or hamlet like South Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually 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, whatever the size of the place.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Ductwork cleaning around South Green
It’s Maidstone council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in South Green. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. South Green is covered by 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.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to South Green is KIMS hospital, about 4.5 miles west. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Leeds Castle is about 4.4 miles south), access may need planning.
South Green is about 4 miles south-west of Sittingbourne, in Kent.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
How it works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. 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 a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in South Green before we set off.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Get a fixed 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, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
Risers are cleaned through panels at different levels. Where it cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Access panels
Access panels are the doors that let us into the duct. Where there are none, those sections cannot be cleaned and the report has to say so.
What affects the quote in South Green
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- How big the system is
- The condition of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Travel, parking and unloading
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- A few general shots of the system
- The postcode and the type of business
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What a clean won’t put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on in South Green

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in South Green
Do you work overnight in South Green?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in South Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover smaller places like South Green?
Yes. South Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
A photo report, with readings and before and after pictures, plus a TR19 certificate for a full system clean. The report says when the next clean is due.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Why it’s worth doing now in South Green
A partly blocked duct slows the airflow. The fan works harder, the kitchen gets hotter and smoke lingers at the canopy and grease can drip from duct joints. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near South Green rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
