What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Somewhere as small as Codmore Hill, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

About our ductwork cleaning in Codmore Hill
Each extract duct we take on in Codmore Hill goes through the full routine: we test the grease first, remove thick deposits by hand and degrease what’s left. Readings are taken again afterwards and photos go into your report. Common call-outs are for stale grease odours from the duct and grease seeping out of the duct seams, on multi-storey ducts, access panels and vertical risers.
In a village or hamlet like Codmore Hill, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Codmore Hill
A duct with too few access doors cannot be fully cleaned. Sections between panels go uncleaned, sometimes since the system was installed, and the grease there keeps building out of sight.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Sections of duct with no access panels
For schools such as St Mary's Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What affects the quote in Codmore Hill
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The times the site is available
- Parking and loading at the site
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- A few general shots of the system

- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see

Questions from Codmore Hill
Do you work overnight in Codmore Hill?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Codmore Hill can fit around your hours. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Codmore Hill?
Codmore Hill is in the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?
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 accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
Every clean comes with a photo report, and a full TR19 clean also comes with a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. Keep both in the maintenance log.
Leave it or put it right?
Insurers know the risk of a greasy duct. Many require cleaning to TR19, and they can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. Your certificate and photo report show the ducts were cleaned. If the system at a site near Codmore Hill fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.

Honest limits
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Fire dampers that do not close (they need testing and remedials)
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Parts of the duct with no way in
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Different parts, different methods
Bends and transitions
Transitions from the canopy spigot into the duct catch a lot of grease. We reach it from the plenum side where possible.
Attenuators and discharge
Near the discharge, the air has cooled the most, which can mean heavier deposits. We include it in the clean and the readings.

An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.

In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
