Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Climping
We treat ductwork like a doctor treats arteries: find the blockages, clear them, then check the flow is right. Grease readings before and after give you the evidence, alongside before and after photos. If you have thick crusts of old grease along the duct and sections of duct with no access panels, we can help.
Work in a small place like Climping 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What the work involves, part by part
Bends and transitions
A bend can hold far more grease than a straight run of the same length. It’s scraped out and degreased, and test it before and after.
Access panels
After cleaning, every panel is closed and sealed, so grease and air stay inside the duct. We’ll tell you if any panel needs replacing.
FAQs for Climping
Can a school canteen extract in Climping be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 7 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Climping. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will fit the work in.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Climping?
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Climping. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the system, its condition, access and timing. Ask us for a fixed quote and we will typically reply within one working day.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
How long will the duct clean take?
Short runs are quick, while long ducts and tall risers can need more than one visit. Visits are planned out of hours.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and the last report help too. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
It depends mostly on daily cooking hours. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means at least every 3 months, while lighter use can go longer.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What affects the quote in Climping
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether several sites go on one quote
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.

Leave it or put it right?
Grease narrows the duct and slows the air. Less air moves, so heat and smoke stay in the kitchen while the fan strains and grease can drip from duct joints. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Why us?
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009

What we are called out for in Climping
Ducts in Climping gather grease for the same reasons as ducts anywhere: daily cooking hours, the menu and the state of the filters. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily use.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of St Mary or anywhere around Climping, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What your quote should include
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether VAT is included
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. 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.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Climping, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and pictures repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Ductwork cleaning around Climping

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.
