Catsfield: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Catsfield?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Will you come out to Catsfield?
Yes. Catsfield is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?
BESA guidance sets minimum intervals by daily cooking hours: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Grease readings may show it needs doing sooner.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Catsfield?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before we start.
Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Catsfield
Not every duct has enough access panels. Where a section cannot be reached, TR19 expects it to be recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted to reach it in future. It’s better to know than to assume. If you are dealing with years of grease along the duct floor and high readings at a recent grease test, we can help, from attenuators, multi-storey ducts and horizontal duct runs onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Catsfield, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Kitchen extracts in Catsfield
Catsfield sits within the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in Catsfield get their food hygiene inspections from Rother council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
For schools such as Catsfield Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Durhamford Manor, about 4.4 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Catsfield; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Catsfield is about 4 miles north of Bexhill-on-Sea, in East Sussex.

When something else is needed
Ductwork cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- Duct sections that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Attenuators
- Bends and junctions
- Access panels
- Multi-storey ducts
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
Why deal with it now?
Grease narrows the duct and slows the air. The fan works harder, the kitchen gets hotter and smoke lingers at the canopy, and grease may start to leak from joints. A fault that closes a site in a village like Catsfield affects everyone who depends on it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

What we are called out for in Catsfield
Damaged or poorly fitted filters let more grease into the duct. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should, and build-up speeds up.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
Where a hall near The Parish Church of St Laurence, or anywhere in Catsfield, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

The process
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Catsfield, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- We test again, take photos and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
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 send you a fixed quote.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Catsfield
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
