Ductwork cleaning in Bedham, done properly
Duct cleaning is the hardest part of an extract clean, and the part most often skipped. Sections with no way in can go uncleaned for years. Each section we can reach is cleaned, and any we can’t is written down, so you know exactly where you stand. The work covers multi-storey ducts, horizontal duct runs and bends and junctions, and common reasons people get in touch are grease seeping out of the duct seams and grease pooling at the foot of the riser.
In a village or hamlet like Bedham, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Ductwork cleaning in Bedham: the local picture
We cover Bedham, about 42 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Bedham. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Bedham, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Old Place Manor is about 2.2 miles east), access may need planning.

Questions from Bedham
Which fire authority looks after Bedham?
Fire safety enforcement in Bedham is handled by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you work in Bedham outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
Signs include grease dripping from joints, smells and a fan working harder, but the only sure way is to measure. A WFTT or DTT reading gives a clear answer.
Do you work in Bedham?
Yes. We cover Bedham and across West Sussex, within our South East and London area. To book, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes. The survey or clean shows where sections couldn’t be reached, and we can fit them so those sections are cleaned in future.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.

What else we do in Bedham
Multi-site and managed buildings
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 photos, so each one has its own record.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
When to call us in Bedham
Grease in a duct running from a kitchen in Bedham is as much a fire risk as in any building. Burning grease can carry fire through the ductwork to other rooms or floors, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
Clients typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Fittleworth CofE Village School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Bedham and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- Readings and photos are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Related advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot 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: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the area around them is cleaned down. Waste grease and water are taken away.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. It does not stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
Cleaning a riser needs access along its height. Where it cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a shared building, the duct links the kitchen to other spaces, which makes keeping it clean all the more important. The paperwork suits landlords and managing agents.
