- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The scale of the work

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:

- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use

About our ductwork cleaning in Wormshill
In doctor’s terms, the ductwork is the system’s arteries: diagnose where grease has built up, clear it and confirm the result. Readings taken before and after show the difference, alongside before and after photos. Common call-outs are for grease pooling at the foot of the riser and years of grease along the duct floor, on access panels, multi-storey ducts and horizontal duct runs.
In a small place like Wormshill, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Wormshill can be planned properly.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease left in a duct in Wormshill hardens over time. Heat and age turn it into a thick, stubborn crust, so the later the clean, the bigger the job. If the system at a site near Wormshill fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Grease, kitchens and Wormshill
The fire and rescue service for Wormshill is 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. Wormshill is about 37 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Giles, or anywhere in Wormshill, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like KIMS hospital about 6 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Leeds Castle is about 3.7 miles south-west), access may need planning.
Wormshill is about 4 miles south-west of Sittingbourne, in Kent. From the centre of Wormshill to the outskirts, we cover ductwork cleaning for every kind of premises, from a single unit to a large public building. 922 places in Kent are on our list, from busy centres to quieter spots. Maidstone is in our area too, about 7 miles from Wormshill.

How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
Flat runs of duct link the canopy to the riser or the outside wall. They collect grease as the air cools and slows, and we clean them section by section through access panels.
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
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
File the paperwork in the maintenance log. It’s the evidence an insurer or inspector may ask for, and the pictures make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: grease leaking from duct joints, smells, or a fan that sounds rough. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
