Grease, kitchens and Teasley Mead
Teasley Mead, about 27 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Teasley Mead is covered by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near All Saints, or anywhere in Teasley Mead, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Kent and Sussex Hospital (about 5 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Teasley Mead is about 5 miles west of Royal Tunbridge Wells, in Kent. From the centre of Teasley Mead to the outskirts, ductwork cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building. 922 places in Kent are on our list, large and small.

How we handle ductwork cleaning in Teasley Mead
Between the canopy and the fan runs the ductwork, hidden above ceilings and inside walls. Every horizontal run and vertical riser collects grease along the way, and that’s where a kitchen fire can travel. Our ductwork cleaning reaches inside the runs and risers through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. Typical jobs include sections of duct with no access panels and grease seeping out of the duct seams, on access panels, multi-storey ducts and attenuators.
For a kitchen in or near Teasley Mead, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What else we do in Teasley Mead
Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Flat runs of duct link the canopy to the riser or the outside wall. Grease drops out of the slowing air along them, so each section is cleaned through its access panels.
Access panels
Extra panels can be installed where there are gaps, so the next clean reaches more of the system. The survey shows where they’re needed.
Why it’s worth doing now in Teasley Mead
Grease narrows the duct and slows the air. The fan works harder, the kitchen gets hotter and smoke lingers at the canopy and grease can drip from duct joints. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What you get with us
- In business since 2009
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Fully insured
- A fixed price before any work starts
Take a look at our cost guide or our accreditations.
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
- Do not switch the extract off early
The report gives a recommended next clean date, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
Questions from Teasley Mead
Who inspects food businesses in Teasley Mead?
Kitchens in Teasley Mead are inspected by Wealden council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Teasley Mead?
It’s Kent Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Teasley Mead. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
Every clean comes with a photo report, plus a TR19 certificate when the whole system is cleaned. File them with the fire risk assessment.
Do you cover Teasley Mead?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Teasley Mead.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
Each section is cleaned through its own panel. Grease is scraped out first, then degreased, with readings taken before and after.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
Short runs are quick, but long or complex ducts may take several visits. Visits are planned out of hours.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
When it’s something else
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Duct sections that need replacing
- A damper stuck open in the duct
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access, and we clear up before we go. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Teasley Mead and turn up when the site is quiet.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear the space around the work
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote
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. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What we’re called out for in Teasley Mead
Grease filters that don’t seal let fat straight through. The duct then takes grease that the filters should have stopped, and build-up speeds up.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
If you run a café or takeaway near Ashurst Kent station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
