About our ductwork cleaning in Billingshurst
Between the canopy and the fan runs the ductwork, hidden above ceilings and inside walls. Every horizontal run and vertical riser collects grease along the way and a fire in the duct can spread through the building. Our ductwork cleaning reaches inside the runs and risers through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. Typical jobs include an insurer asking for TR19 evidence and grease pooling at the foot of the riser, across bends and junctions, multi-storey ducts and attenuators.
In a smaller place like Billingshurst, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
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 are fully insured.

Common problems we fix in Billingshurst
A vertical riser can run up several floors. Grease clings to the walls and can run down to the base as liquid grease runs down. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- Duct runs that cannot be reached
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- High readings at a recent grease test
Old Place Manor, about 4.9 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses near Billingshurst; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Common questions in Billingshurst
Which fire service covers Billingshurst?
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Billingshurst. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you come to Billingshurst after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Billingshurst can fit around your hours. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, opening hours and a few photos.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, where the photos show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
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.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Everything the job in Billingshurst needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Move anything stored near the system
Get a fixed quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.

How we price ductwork cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- The scale of the work
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by ductwork cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- Duct sections that need replacing
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
