Cocking Causeway: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Cocking Causeway?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Cocking Causeway is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Cocking Causeway during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 4 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Cocking Causeway, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
Signs include grease dripping from joints, smells and a fan working harder, but measuring is the reliable way to know. A WFTT or DTT reading gives a clear answer.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Will the duct clean disrupt the kitchen?
The duct is cleaned out of hours, evenings, overnight or at weekends. Equipment and the extract are switched off while we work.
Ductwork cleaning in Cocking Causeway, done properly
Many ducts were installed with too few access doors. 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. An honest report beats a guess. The work covers vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and bends and junctions, and common reasons people get in touch are grease pooling at the foot of the riser and duct runs with no cleaning record.
For a kitchen in or near Cocking Causeway, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Ductwork cleaning around Cocking Causeway
There are about 14 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 4 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Cocking Causeway, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever those kitchens cook under a canopy, the horizontal runs and risers need cleaning as well as the hood. Cocking Causeway is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Environmental health officers from Chichester council inspect food businesses in Cocking Causeway. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Cowdray House is about 1.2 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene or elsewhere in Cocking Causeway, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
The process
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Cocking Causeway, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system

Advice
Different parts, different methods
Attenuators and discharge
The discharge is where the duct ends and air leaves the building. Grease can collect there and stain the area around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
Vertical risers
Risers are cleaned through panels at different levels. Where it cannot be reached safely, the report says so.

How we price ductwork cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What state the system is in
- How big the system is
- The times the site is available
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
What we are called out for in Cocking Causeway
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.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Stale grease odours from the duct
School kitchens, at schools like Midhurst CofE Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Before you book anyone

- What records you will receive afterwards

- Whether the quote shows VAT
Why it’s worth doing now in Cocking Causeway
A partly blocked duct slows the airflow. The fan works harder, the kitchen gets hotter and smoke lingers at the canopy and grease can drip from duct joints. Somewhere as small as Cocking Causeway, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
