How the job changes from site to site
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.
Bends and transitions
Wherever the duct turns or changes size, grease builds up. The air slows and drops its load, so these points get extra attention.
About our ductwork cleaning in Street End
The ductwork is where an extract clean is won or lost. Sections with no way in can go uncleaned for years. Each section we can reach is cleaned, and any we can’t is written down, so you know exactly where you stand. We’re often asked to deal with a duct clean needed for an insurer and a rancid smell from the extract duct, across attenuators, horizontal duct runs and access panels.
In a small place like Street End, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Street End
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
What we are called out for in Street End
Wherever the kitchen is, in Street End or elsewhere, the duct fills in the same way: hours of cooking, the type of food and how well the filters are kept. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily use.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Street End, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Street End: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Street End?
Kent Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Street End. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you work at weekends in Street End?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Street End doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
The duct is cleaned as part of the whole system, at intervals set by BESA guidance, from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use. Readings tell you if it needs to be more often.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Ductwork cleaning around Street End
In Street End, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Canterbury City council. 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. We cover Street End, about 54 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Kent and Canterbury Hospital about 1.5 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys or anywhere near Street End, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Street End is about 2 miles south of Canterbury, in Kent. Street End gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with photos. Street End is one of 922 places in Kent we cover for commercial clients. For sites nearby, see our Maidstone page, about 24 miles away.

How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Street End knowing what to expect.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- Readings and photos are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Keep to the interval on the report
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, so the report shows the before and after figures. Before and after pictures sit next to the numbers.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
How we price ductwork cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether several sites go on one quote
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
