Ductwork cleaning in Wissenden, done properly
Each extract duct we take on in Wissenden goes through the full routine: readings at set points, heavy grease scraped out by hand, then degreasing to suit the deposit. Post-clean readings and photos complete the record. If you have smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork and a duct clean needed for an insurer, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Parts of the duct with no way in
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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 records stay tidy.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
- Keep your cleaning records together
The report names every part of the duct that couldn’t be reached, with the reason. We can fit access panels so those sections are cleaned next time.
Have access panels fitted where sections can’t be reached. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
Wissenden: your questions answered
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Wissenden?
That is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you get to a site in Wissenden?
Yes, Wissenden is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Wissenden?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before work begins.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.

Wissenden kitchens: local notes
Food hygiene inspections in Wissenden are the job of Ashford council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for Wissenden is Kent Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
School kitchens, at schools like Bethersden Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hospital like Benenden Hospital, about 6 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Godinton House is about 4.8 miles east), access may need planning.

Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Different parts, different methods
Access panels
Panels have to seal properly once they’re closed so the duct stays tight. A damaged panel is noted on the report.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A duct that climbs several floors may be cleaned over more than one visit. We agree a sequence that suits the building, out of hours where possible.
What affects the quote in Wissenden
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition we find in the survey
- The scale of the work
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
