About our ductwork cleaning in Bosham Hoe
Grease in a duct is hidden, which is exactly why it’s dangerous. A flare-up drawn up from the range can light it, carrying a fire along the duct and into rooms far from the kitchen. Cleaning the duct takes that fuel away. The work covers vertical risers, multi-storey ducts and attenuators, and the jobs we see most are a grease test showing the duct is overdue and thick crusts of old grease along the duct.
Somewhere as small as Bosham Hoe, 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.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with the ductwork in Bosham Hoe now beats dealing with it after a problem. The work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

How we price ductwork cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Parking and loading at the site
- The number of sites or systems
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
No two sites are the same, 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
What to send for a quote:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any previous report or certificate
- The site address and the type of premises
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Bosham Hoe before we set off.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear the space around the work

Advice
Grease, kitchens and Bosham Hoe
At about 1 mile from the coast, Bosham Hoe is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Food Standards Agency records include about 7 pubs, bars and clubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Bosham Hoe. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Bosham Hoe. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Bosham Hoe, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Bosham Hoe is about 3 miles south-west of Chichester, in West Sussex. Whatever kind of site you run in Bosham Hoe, ductwork cleaning is something we can help with.

Local landmarks in Bosham Hoe
Bosham Hoe’s nearest station is Bosham station, about 1.9 miles north. A little further out are Chichester Cathedral Treasury (3.1 miles north-east) and St Richard's Hospital (3.8 miles north-east). For a walk, there’s Stoke Down and Nutborne Marshes.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Bosham Hoe?
The further the air travels from the cooking, the cooler it gets. As it cools, the grease it carries condenses onto the duct walls, so duct runs keep collecting grease long after the canopy.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St Richard's Hospital is the nearest hospital to Bosham Hoe, about 3.8 miles north-east.
Questions to ask before you book
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
Cleaning a riser needs access along its height. Where it cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Horizontal duct runs
Long horizontal runs need access panels at regular intervals. Where the gaps between panels are too long, we record what couldn’t be reached and can fit extra panels.

Other services in Bosham Hoe
Bosham Hoe: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Bosham Hoe?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Bosham Hoe?
Fire safety enforcement in Bosham Hoe is handled by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before work begins.
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.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we typically come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
Drips, smells and weak extraction are clues, but the only sure way is to measure. Grease thickness testing shows exactly where the duct stands.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- A damper stuck open in the duct
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
