How we handle ductwork cleaning in Broad Street
Every duct has its own route. A few metres to an outside wall, or a riser up through the building to a roof fan. We map the route during the survey, so we know where to get in and how long it will take. The work covers vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and attenuators, and the jobs we see most are gaps where access panels were never fitted and duct runs with no cleaning record.
In a village or hamlet like Broad Street, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
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’re fully insured.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Leave a way through to the access panels
The report gives a recommended next clean date, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Duct sections that need replacing
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The size of the system
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- A few general shots of the system
- The postcode and the type of business
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 pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Part by part
Access panels
Every section of duct is cleaned through an access panel. Without them, parts of the duct cannot be reached, and TR19 expects them to be recorded.
Vertical risers
In taller buildings, a riser may pass through several floors and fire compartments, so fire dampers may be fitted where it crosses them. Damper testing is a separate service.
Grease, kitchens and Broad Street
The coast is only about 3 miles from Broad Street. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Food hygiene inspections in Broad Street are the job of Rother council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Broad Street is covered by East 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.
For schools such as Icklesham Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Historic houses near Broad Street, such as Lamb House about 4.1 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Around Broad Street
Broad Street’s nearest station is Doleham station, about 1.8 miles west of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Camber Castle (3.7 miles east) and Winchelsea Court Hall Museum (2.5 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Flatropers Wood.
Why act early in Broad Street
A partly blocked duct slows the airflow. Less air moves, so heat and smoke stay in the kitchen while the fan strains, and grease may start to leak from joints. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Broad Street rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Nearby places to Broad Street
Other services in Broad Street
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Broad Street?
A vertical riser can run up several floors. Grease clings to the walls and can run down to the base, where it can pool. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Conquest Hospital about 4.3 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
