What affects the quote in Throwley
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Travel, parking and unloading

- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.

Ductwork cleaning in Throwley, done properly
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? A few details about the system are a good start when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and a fixed price will follow, normally within one working day. Common call-outs are for readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test and thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct, across attenuators, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs.
Somewhere as small as Throwley, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, 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.

What a clean won’t put right
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Vertical risers
- Access panels
- Horizontal duct runs
- Multi-storey ducts
- Attenuators
- Bends and junctions
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. For a village or hamlet like Throwley, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- We test again, take photos and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Throwley and across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Ductwork cleaning around Throwley
Throwley sits within the area of 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. Environmental health officers from Swale council inspect food businesses in Throwley. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Where a hall near Church of St Michael and All Angels, or anywhere in Throwley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Belmont House and Gardens, about 0.6 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses near Throwley; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Why act early in Throwley
Dealing with the ductwork in Throwley now beats dealing with it after a problem. It takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers, done out of hours so the kitchen keeps cooking. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Throwley is calmer for everyone.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Keep to the interval on the report
File the paperwork in the maintenance log. It’s the evidence an insurer or inspector may ask for, and the photos make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.

FAQs for Throwley
Do you cover smaller places like Throwley?
Yes. Throwley is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you come to Throwley after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Throwley keeps running as normal. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
Drips, smells and weak extraction are clues, but the only sure way is to measure. Grease thickness testing shows exactly where the duct stands.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before work begins.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
Through access panels along the duct. Thick deposits are removed by hand before degreasing, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
