How we handle ductwork cleaning in Temple Hill
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. Flames pulled in from the cooking line can ignite it, carrying a fire along the duct and into rooms far from the kitchen. Removing it is the whole point. If you have proof of duct cleaning for the insurer and grease leaking from duct joints, we can put it right, from horizontal duct runs, access panels and bends and junctions onwards.
In a smaller place like Temple Hill, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

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
The join where the canopy meets the duct is a common hotspot. We clean it from the canopy side or through a nearby panel.
FAQs for Temple Hill
Do you work overnight in Temple Hill?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Temple Hill can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Temple Hill?
In Temple Hill, it’s Dartford council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What’s 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.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
Each section is cleaned through its own panel. Heavy grease comes out by hand, and what’s left is degreased, with readings taken before and after.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Temple Hill and 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. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
What affects the quote in Temple Hill
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- A single visit or a regular plan
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state 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.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Don’t switch the extract off early
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the surrounding area is left clean. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
Some signs mean the duct needs attention sooner: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what ductwork cleaning won’t do:
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Sections that cannot be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Tell us when your site near Temple Hill is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Advice
Grease, kitchens and Temple Hill
There are about 87 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 59 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Temple Hill, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each kitchen that cooks under a canopy sends grease-laden air into a duct, where it cools and settles. Temple Hill 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. In Temple Hill, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Dartford 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.
If you run a café or takeaway near Dartford station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Temple Hill Primary Academy tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like West Hill Hospital about 0.7 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
