About our ductwork cleaning in Bexhill-on-Sea

Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? Tell us about the system when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and a fixed price will follow, typically within one working day. We are often asked to deal with ductwork that has never been cleaned and sections of duct with no access panels, across multi-storey ducts, access panels and horizontal duct runs.

Around a town like Bexhill-on-Sea, extract cleaning usually means a restaurant, pub, takeaway or the kitchen of a school or care home. Each has a canopy, filters, ductwork and a fan to keep clear of grease, and each is cleaned to the same TR19® standard.

Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

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.

Access panels

Panels have to seal properly once they’re closed, so grease and air stay inside the duct. A damaged panel is noted on the report.

What affects the quote in Bexhill-on-Sea

Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:

  • Site rules, permits and inductions
  • What state the system is in
  • Whether several sites go on one quote
  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids

Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

What to send for a quote

What to send for a quote:

  • Any previous report or certificate
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • The postcode and the type of business

Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Bexhill-on-Sea: your questions answered

Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Bexhill-on-Sea?

That is East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.

Do you work overnight in Bexhill-on-Sea?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Bexhill-on-Sea can fit around your hours. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.

What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?

It follows the same interval as the whole extract, ranging from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Grease thickness testing shows whether that is often enough.

How long will the duct clean take?

Short runs are quick, but long or complex ducts may take several visits. Visits are planned out of hours.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.

Can extra access doors be added to the duct?

Yes, as part of our fits and repairs work. Panels go where they give the best access to sections that couldn’t be reached, and we’ll recommend where.

What happens if there aren’t enough access panels?

Sections out of reach are written down on the report, as TR19 expects. We can fit new access panels so they’re cleaned next time.

What do you need from me for a quote?

Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

What a clean will not put right

It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:

  • Leaking duct joints that need repair
  • Faulty fire dampers
  • Ductwork that was poorly designed

If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.

Parts of the system we cover

  • Attenuators
  • Access panels
  • Horizontal duct runs
  • Multi-storey ducts
  • Bends and junctions
  • Vertical risers

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

The process

Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. For a site in a town like Bexhill-on-Sea, tell us your opening hours, where we can park and how we reach the roof or plant.

  1. The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
  2. Grease thickness is measured at set points.
  3. Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
  4. Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
  5. Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking and loading
  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
  • Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Advice

Grease, kitchens and Bexhill-on-Sea

Sea air reaches Bexhill-on-Sea, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The Food Standards Agency lists about 20 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses across Bexhill-on-Sea and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Bexhill-on-Sea is covered by East Sussex 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.

A hospital like Bexhill Hospital, about 0.5 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. A kitchen near Bexhill station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

Do you need ductwork cleaning in Bexhill-on-Sea?

Ducts in Bexhill-on-Sea gather grease for the same reasons as ducts anywhere: hours of cooking, the type of food and how well the filters are kept. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily use.

The symptoms we are asked about most are:

  • Stale grease odours from the duct
  • A duct nobody has opened in years
  • Sections of duct with no access panels
  • Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct

School kitchens, at schools like King Offa Primary Academy for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Before you book anyone

  • When the next visit should be, and why
  • What hours they’ll be on site
  • What insurance they carry
  • What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
