How we handle ductwork cleaning in Broadwater
We’ve been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and our certificates are issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. The work covers horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and access panels, and the jobs we see most are a duct clean needed for an insurer and grease pooling at the foot of the riser.
In a smaller place like Broadwater, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
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. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Broadwater
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Grease, kitchens and Broadwater
At about 2 miles from the coast, Broadwater is close enough for sea air to matter. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Look up Broadwater on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 197 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 72 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Broadwater. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Broadwater. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Broadwater CofE Primary School or anywhere near Broadwater, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you cook for passing trade around Worthing station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
Long horizontal runs need access panels at regular intervals. Any stretch out of reach is noted and can fit extra panels.
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.
Questions from Broadwater
Which council inspects kitchens in Broadwater?
The local authority for Broadwater is Worthing council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Broadwater?
Fire safety enforcement in Broadwater 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.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
When is the ductwork cleaned?
Only while we are working, and we work around you. Overnight and weekend work is common, so no service is lost.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
The date on the last certificate is the first thing to check. If it’s overdue, or there isn’t one, a clean is due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
Is Broadwater in your area?
Yes. We work in Broadwater and across West Sussex, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the ductwork cleaning, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. We plan the journey to Broadwater and bring what the job is likely to need.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- We test again, take pictures and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
- Check readings when the menu changes
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 shows when and where the clean was done and by whom.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
What we’re called out for in Broadwater
A duct with too few access doors can’t be fully cleaned. Sections between panels go uncleaned, sometimes since the system was installed, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
Church and community hall kitchens, near St. Mary's Church or anywhere around Broadwater, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
