Ductwork cleaning around Bewbush

Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Crawley council inspect food businesses in Bewbush. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Bewbush is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Where a hall near St Alban's, or anywhere in Bewbush, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

About our ductwork cleaning in Bewbush
Grease in a duct is hidden, which is exactly why it’s dangerous. Flames pulled in from the cooking line can ignite it, carrying a fire along the duct and into rooms far from the kitchen. Removing it is the whole point. Typical jobs include a duct clean needed for an insurer and a duct nobody has opened in years, on attenuators, vertical risers and access panels.
Around a smaller place like Bewbush, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what ductwork cleaning will not do:
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
- An extract fan that has stopped working
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.

When to call us in Bewbush
Ducts in Bewbush gather grease for the same reasons as ducts anywhere: daily cooking hours, the menu and the state of the filters. Under BESA guidance, the minimum interval is 3, 6 or 12 months, by daily cooking hours.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
If you cook for passing trade around Ifield station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.
Questions to ask before booking

How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. In a smaller place like Bewbush, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear the space around the work

What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
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.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
FAQs for Bewbush
Who inspects food businesses in Bewbush?
That is Crawley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Bewbush. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Bewbush?
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Bewbush. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
After a survey and grease readings, the duct is opened up through its access panels. Each run and riser is scraped and degreased, and test again when we’re done.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you work in Bewbush?
Yes. Bewbush is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
What happens if there aren’t enough access panels?
Without a way in, a section can’t be cleaned properly. Those parts are listed, and we can install panels so they’re reached next time.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.

How the job changes from site to site
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.
Vertical risers
Cleaning a riser needs access along its height. Any part that cannot be safely reached is recorded.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
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 pictures.
