Common questions in Church Norton
Which environmental health team covers Church Norton?
Kitchens in Church Norton are inspected by Chichester council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Will you come out to Church Norton?
Yes, Church Norton is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
We survey the route, test the grease, then open the access panels. Each run and riser is scraped and degreased, and test again when we’re done.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
A photo report, with readings and before and after pictures, plus a TR19 certificate for a full system clean. The report says when the next clean is due.
What information do you need?
Some photos and a quick description of the system, with the address and opening hours. We will ask for anything else we need.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
When is the ductwork cleaned?
When the kitchen is closed. Long ducts can be split across visits, with the kitchen ready to cook each morning.

Kitchen extracts in Church Norton
At about 1 mile from the coast, Church Norton is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food Standards Agency records include about 5 pubs, bars and clubs in Church Norton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. The fire and rescue service for Church Norton is West 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.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as The Academy tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Where a hall near St Wilfrid's Chapel, or anywhere in Church Norton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Church Norton is about 1 mile north-east of Selsey, in West Sussex. Every kind of commercial site in Church Norton, we can take on ductwork cleaning.

Work in PO20 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. You’ll find streets such as Grange Lane and Rectory Lane, all of which we cover for ductwork cleaning. Close by, we work in Selsey (1 mile south-west), Keynor Estate (2 miles north-west), Pagham (2 miles north-east), Sidlesham (2 miles north) and Nyetimber (2 miles north-east). We also work in nearby towns such as Bognor Regis (5 miles north-east), Chichester (6 miles north), Littlehampton (11 miles east), Emsworth (10 miles north-west), Rustington (12 miles east) and Angmering (14 miles north-east).
Around Church Norton
Church Norton’s nearest station is Bognor Regis station, about 4.9 miles north-east. Other landmarks nearby include Selsey Lifeboat Museum (1.5 miles south) and Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital (5.1 miles north-east).
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections can’t be reached
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
Access panels are closed and sealed back up after cleaning, and the surrounding area is left clean. Waste grease and water are taken away.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
Common problems we fix in Church Norton
Slow air leaves the most grease behind. Long horizontal runs, bends, changes in size and the foot of a riser all collect more, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
Look out for any of the following:
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
A hospital like Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital, about 5.1 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Church Norton
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any previous report or certificate
- The site address and the type of premises
If you need ductwork cleaning in Church Norton, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send pictures or your last report if you can. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
What ductwork cleaning can’t fix
Ductwork cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It won’t put right:
- Parts of the duct with no way in
- Fire dampers that don’t close (they need testing and remedials)
- A duct that is too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on in Church Norton
- Attenuators
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
- Multi-storey ducts
- Bends and junctions
- Access panels
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Somewhere as small as Church Norton, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, pictures and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Find the previous report, if there is one
