What we do, step by step

Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Broyle Side.
- 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.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.

Advice
Ductwork cleaning in Broyle Side, done properly
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. A flare-up drawn up from the range can light it, and fire can then run along the ductwork to other parts of the building. Cleaning the duct takes that fuel away. If you are dealing with smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork and high readings at a recent grease test, we can help.
In a small place like Broyle Side, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Broyle Side
Wherever the kitchen is, in Broyle Side or elsewhere, the duct fills in the same way: hours of cooking, the type of food and how well the filters are kept. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily use.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Sections of duct with no access panels
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Lewes Victoria Hospital is the nearest hospital to Broyle Side, about 4 miles south-west.
What your quote should include
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether a survey comes first
Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Check readings when the menu changes
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the area around them is cleaned down. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
Common questions in Broyle Side
Do you work in villages like Broyle Side?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Broyle Side included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you work in Broyle Side outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Broyle Side can fit around your hours. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
Each section is cleaned through its own panel. Grease is scraped out first, then degreased, with readings taken before and after.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?
Start with the date of the last clean. No record, or a passed date, means it’s due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
How we price ductwork cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The size of the system
- The condition of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any previous report or certificate
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Parts of the duct with no way in
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on in Broyle Side

Broyle Side kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 pubs, bars and clubs across Broyle Side and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Broyle Side. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Kitchens in Broyle Side get their food hygiene inspections from Lewes council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
For schools such as Ringmer Community College and Sixth Form, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Broyle Side (Glyndebourne is about 1.7 miles south), fitting access panels needs care.
