How we handle ductwork cleaning in Weavering
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. A flare-up drawn up from the range can light it, and fire can then run along the ductwork to other parts of the building. Cleaning the duct takes that fuel away. We’re often asked to deal with high readings at a recent grease test and thick crusts of old grease along the duct, on vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and attenuators.
Kitchens around a place like Weavering are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What else we do in Weavering
Different parts, different methods
Attenuators and discharge
The discharge is where the duct ends and air leaves the building. It can gather grease and mark the wall or roof around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Ducts in taller or shared buildings often run past other occupiers. Access is planned with the building’s managers, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
How we price ductwork cleaning
You will get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- The number of sites or systems
- The size of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition we find in the survey
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site

FAQs for Weavering
Do you work at weekends in Weavering?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Weavering keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Which council inspects kitchens in Weavering?
Kitchens in Weavering are inspected by Maidstone council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
Allow from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. The survey tells us how long your duct needs.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
What happens if there aren’t enough access panels?
Every reachable section is cleaned and the rest recorded. Fitting extra access panels is the usual answer, and we can do that for you.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Weavering
Air cools as it moves away from the canopy. Cooling air drops its grease onto the inside of the duct, which is why ducts go on gathering grease well beyond the filters.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
Stoneacre, about 1.7 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Weavering; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.

What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. In a smaller place like Weavering, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- Readings and pictures are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
