Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Burwash
We have been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. We’re 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 multi-storey ducts, horizontal duct runs and attenuators, and common reasons people get in touch are fat dripping from the ductwork and heavy grease at the base of a riser.
Work in a small place like Burwash starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Leave a way through to the access panels
File the paperwork in the maintenance log. It’s the evidence an insurer or inspector may ask for, and the photos make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.
Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Burwash
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Burwash?
It’s East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Burwash. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you get to a site in Burwash?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Burwash included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What if part of the duct can’t be reached?
Without a way in, a section cannot be cleaned properly. Those parts are listed, and we can install panels so they’re reached next time.

What happens on the day
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Burwash.
- 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.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Burwash?
Air cools as it moves away from the canopy. Cooling air drops its grease onto the inside of the duct, which is why ducts go on gathering grease well beyond the filters.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Grease leaking from duct joints
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Burwash (Bateman's is about 0.8 miles south-west), fitting access panels needs care.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether they’re fully insured
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Burwash
Fire safety in Burwash falls to 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. Burwash, about 40 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Bartholomew or elsewhere in Burwash, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Burwash CofE School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Different parts, different methods
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a shared building, the duct links the kitchen to other spaces, so the responsible person has more reason to keep it clean. Your certificate and report give building managers the record they need.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of a flat duct run. Thick deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Burwash
There’s no law that names TR19. The Fire Safety Order 2005 makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. It’s simpler to plan the work at Burwash now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
