About our ductwork cleaning in Bosham
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. It’s better to know than to assume. If you are dealing with thick crusts of old grease along the duct and fat dripping from the ductwork, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Bosham, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Why act early in Bosham
BESA guidance says grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans. Anywhere that reaches 500 microns or more needs immediate spot cleaning. Leaving the duct makes those limits harder to keep to. A fault that closes a site in a village like Bosham affects everyone who depends on it.
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.

How it works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Bosham, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access 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
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

Common problems we fix in Bosham
Damaged or poorly fitted filters let more grease into the duct. The duct then takes grease that the filters should have stopped and it fills faster.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Duct runs that cannot be reached
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Bosham Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
What to look for in a quote
- What paperwork you get at the end
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the quote shows VAT
What affects the quote in Bosham
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The size of the system
- The condition we find in the survey
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet

How the job changes from site to site
Access panels
After cleaning, every panel is closed and sealed, so grease and air stay inside the duct. A damaged panel is noted on the report.
Vertical risers
Risers often pass through floors and walls, so fire dampers may be fitted where it crosses them. Damper testing is a separate service.
Bosham: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Bosham?
Kitchens in Bosham are inspected by Chichester council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can sea air affect ductwork cleaning in Bosham?
It can. Salt air reaches Bosham, which is within about 2 miles of the coast, and it speeds up rust. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes. The survey or clean shows where sections couldn’t be reached, and fitting them means future cleans are more complete.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the area around them is cleaned down. Waste grease and water are taken away.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
Kitchen extracts in Bosham
The coast is only about 2 miles from Bosham. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Look up Bosham on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Bosham. The duct above a busy canopy coats itself in grease long before anyone sees it. The fire and rescue service for Bosham is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Richard's Hospital (about 3.8 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The United Reformed Church or elsewhere in Bosham, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
