How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Troy Town before we set off.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- Readings, pictures and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Advice
Ductwork cleaning in Troy Town
Grease in a duct is hidden, which is exactly why it’s dangerous. Flames pulled in from the cooking line can ignite it, and fire can then run along the ductwork to other parts of the building. Cleaning the duct takes that fuel away. The work covers multi-storey ducts, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where access panels were never fitted and thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct.
Somewhere as small as Troy Town, 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What affects the quote in Troy Town
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The scale of the work
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition 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.
Helping us quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
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, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Ductwork cleaning around Troy Town
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs in Troy Town and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Troy Town 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. Kitchens in Troy Town get their food hygiene inspections from Sevenoaks council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
A kitchen near Edenbridge station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Troy Town is Tandridge Priory, about 2.8 miles north. Chartwell, about 2.7 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Troy Town; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Different parts, different methods
Access panels
After cleaning, every panel is closed and sealed so the duct stays tight. We’ll tell you if any panel needs replacing.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Long ducts in larger buildings can mean several visits. Visits are planned around the building’s hours, out of hours where possible.
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t switch the extract off early
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Flag drips from the duct right away
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, giving you before and after readings. Photos of each section go alongside them.
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.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
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’re happy to quote for all of it.
Why deal with it now?
A partly blocked duct slows the airflow. The fan works harder, the kitchen gets hotter and smoke lingers at the canopy, and grease may start to leak from joints. Planning a trip to Troy Town ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Questions from Troy Town
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Troy Town during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Troy Town. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll fit the work in.
Do you work overnight in Troy Town?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Troy Town doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Troy Town?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
Readings, photos and, for a full clean, a TR19 certificate. It also gives a recommended next clean date.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
