Bodle Street Green: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Bodle Street Green?
That’s East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you get to a site in Bodle Street Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Bodle Street Green included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
Allow from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. The survey tells us how long your duct needs.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What happens if there aren’t enough access panels?
Ductwork needs access to be cleaned. We record those sections on the report and can fit access panels.
Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Bodle Street Green
If the ducts in Bodle Street Green haven’t been cleaned for a while, or nobody is sure when they were? A few details about the system are a good start when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll send you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, usually within one working day. We’re often asked to deal with grease pooling at the foot of the riser and duct runs with no cleaning record, on horizontal duct runs, multi-storey ducts and attenuators.
Somewhere as small as Bodle Street Green, 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.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The number of sites or systems
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How big the system is
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any previous report or certificate
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
When to call us in Bodle Street Green
Ducts in Bodle Street Green gather grease for the same reasons as ducts anywhere: daily cooking hours, the menu and the state of the filters. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily use.
Clients typically contact us when they notice something like this:
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
Historic houses near Bodle Street Green, such as Horselunges Manor about 4.6 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Ductwork cleaning in Bodle Street Green: the local picture
Bodle Street Green is covered by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Environmental health officers from Wealden council inspect food businesses in Bodle Street Green. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Where a hall near St John the Evangelist, or anywhere in Bodle Street Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Amberstone Hospital (about 3.6 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Bodle Street Green is about 5 miles north-east of Hailsham, in East Sussex.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Bodle Street Green
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Leave it or put it right?
Booking the duct clean in Bodle Street Green now keeps it a planned job. The work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access, done out of hours so the kitchen keeps cooking. If the system at a site near Bodle Street Green fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Advice
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It records the date, the location and the technician.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
