Ductwork cleaning in Berwick, done properly
Many ducts were installed with too few access doors. TR19 calls for any section we couldn’t reach to be recorded, and we can fit new access panels so it’s cleaned next time. An honest report beats a guess. The work covers attenuators, vertical risers and access panels, and people most often call us about a duct clean needed for an insurer and sections of duct with no access panels.
Somewhere as small as Berwick, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections cannot be reached
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Leave a way through to the access panels
Access panels are closed and sealed back up after cleaning, and the area around them is cleaned down. Waste grease and water are taken away.
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.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Berwick.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will normally have a quote within one working day.

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Berwick
Do you work in villages like Berwick?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Berwick is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which environmental health team covers Berwick?
In Berwick, it’s Wealden council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
We measure it. Using a Wet Film Thickness Test or Deposit Thickness Test, we check the grease at set points. A mean above 200 microns, or 500 microns at any point, means it’s due.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
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 far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What should I send you?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.
What the work involves, part by part
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.
Access panels
After cleaning, every panel is closed and sealed so the duct stays tight. A damaged panel is noted on the report.
What a clean will not put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what ductwork cleaning won’t do:
- Faulty fire dampers
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- Sections that cannot be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Bends and junctions
- Multi-storey ducts
- Access panels
- Attenuators
What we are called out for in Berwick
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease collects on the riser walls and gathers at the bottom, where it can pool. Access along its height is needed to clean it properly.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
If you run a café or takeaway near Berwick (Sussex) station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
