Why act early in Temple Ewell
A fire in a greasy duct is hard to reach and hard to stop. The duct can carry it to rooms, floors or roof spaces well away from the kitchen, which is why the duct matters as much as the canopy. Planning a trip to Temple Ewell ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why Temple Ewell businesses choose us
- Full insurance on every job
- Every job surveyed first
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover

Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Temple Ewell
The ductwork is where an extract clean is won or lost. Without enough access panels, long stretches can go years without being touched. We open up every reachable section and record any we cannot reach, so you know exactly where you stand. If you have heavy grease at the base of a riser and duct runs that can’t be reached, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Temple Ewell, 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.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Temple Ewell kitchens: local notes
Temple Ewell is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. There are about 6 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 6 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Temple Ewell, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. Fire safety in Temple Ewell falls to 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.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Temple Ewell Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Temple Ewell, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Temple Ewell is Buckland Hospital, about 1.7 miles south-east.

How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
The underside of a horizontal duct collects the most grease. We scrape out the heavy layer first, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
Attenuators and discharge
The last section of duct before the discharge is often the coolest, so it can collect more grease than expected. We include it in the clean and the readings.
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Keep your cleaning records together
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.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
How it works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Somewhere as small as Temple Ewell, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- Readings, pictures and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Ask for a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Advice
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Temple Ewell
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Fire dampers that do not close (they need testing and remedials)
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.

Temple Ewell questions
Do you work in villages like Temple Ewell?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Temple Ewell included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can sea air affect ductwork cleaning in Temple Ewell?
Yes, to a degree: at about 3 miles from the coast, Temple Ewell gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
What is TR19?
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.
When is the ductwork cleaned?
Out of hours, at a time that suits the kitchen. Larger systems may be cleaned over several nights, with the kitchen ready to cook each morning.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
It depends mostly on daily cooking hours. Kitchens cooking 12 to 16 hours a day need it at least every 3 months, while lighter use can go longer.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?
We measure it. Using a Wet Film Thickness Test or Deposit Thickness Test, we check the grease at set points. A mean above 200 microns, or 500 microns at any point, means it’s due.
