Ductwork cleaning in Statenborough
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. Our ductwork cleaning reaches inside the runs and risers through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. The work covers horizontal duct runs, access panels and multi-storey ducts, and the jobs we see most are duct runs that can’t be reached and a duct clean needed for an insurer.
Somewhere as small as Statenborough, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Statenborough: your questions answered
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Statenborough?
Fire safety enforcement in Statenborough is handled by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you work at weekends in Statenborough?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
Signs include grease dripping from joints, smells and a fan working harder, but the only sure way is to measure. Grease thickness testing shows exactly where the duct stands.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
How often should kitchen ducts be cleaned?
BESA guidance sets minimum intervals by daily cooking hours: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings may show it needs doing sooner.

What else we do in Statenborough
What the work involves, part by part
Attenuators and discharge
The discharge is where the duct ends and air leaves the building. It can gather grease and mark the wall or roof around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a building with several floors, the duct may pass other tenants’ spaces. We plan access with you and the building manager, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Flag drips from the duct right away
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Make sure filters are seated properly
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the surrounding area is left clean. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Statenborough run smoothly.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

What happens if it’s left?
TR19® is not law, but the duty to manage fire risk is. The Fire Safety Order 2005 makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Grease, kitchens and Statenborough
Food Standards Agency records include about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs in Statenborough and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Environmental health officers from Dover council inspect food businesses in Statenborough. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Statenborough is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Sandwich Technology School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St George, or anywhere in Statenborough, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Statenborough
Grease settles fastest where the air slows down. Flat runs, bends, reducers and the base of risers are the usual hotspots, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Duct runs that cannot be reached
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Grease leaking from duct joints
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Statenborough (Goodnestone Park is about 4.2 miles west), fitting access panels needs care.
