- Leaking duct joints that need repair

Ductwork cleaning in Boreham Street
Not every duct has enough access panels. 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 horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and access panels, and common reasons people get in touch are smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork and readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test.
In a village or hamlet like Boreham Street, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Ductwork cleaning in Boreham Street: the local picture
It’s Wealden council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Boreham Street. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Boreham Street is about 47 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Amberstone Hospital is the nearest hospital to Boreham Street, about 4 miles west.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
Access panels are closed and sealed back up after cleaning, and the area around them is cleaned down. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
FAQs for Boreham Street
Do you cover smaller places like Boreham Street?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Boreham Street is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Boreham Street?
It’s East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Boreham Street. 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.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. It includes readings, pictures and any unreachable sections.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
Often, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
A riser takes the duct up through one or more floors. Grease runs down the walls and gathers at the base, which is one of the points we test.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a building with several floors, the duct may pass other tenants’ spaces. We plan access with you and the building manager, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
What affects the quote in Boreham Street
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Any permits to work or inductions
- What state the system is in
- The number of sites or systems
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The site address and the type of premises
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the ductwork cleaning, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Boreham Street knowing what to expect.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- 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.
- Readings, pictures and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about parking and loading
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.

What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
