Ductwork cleaning in Cooper's Corner
Between the canopy and the fan runs the ductwork, hidden above ceilings and inside walls. Grease settles along every metre of it, and that is where a kitchen fire can travel. We clean it from the inside, through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. The work covers horizontal duct runs, multi-storey ducts and attenuators, and the jobs we see most are hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs and grease seeping out of the duct seams.
In a small place like Cooper's Corner, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Do you need ductwork cleaning in Cooper's Corner?
Damaged or poorly fitted filters let more grease into the duct. The duct then takes grease that the filters should have stopped and it fills faster.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Ticehurst House Hospital is the nearest hospital to Cooper's Corner, about 3.6 miles north-west.
Questions to ask before you book
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether they recommend a next date
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded

What ductwork cleaning looks like in Cooper's Corner
In Cooper's Corner, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Rother council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Cooper's Corner is covered by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Hurst Green Church of England Primary School and Nursery, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Cooper's Corner, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Cooper's Corner.
- 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 photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.

How we price ductwork cleaning
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition we find in the survey
- How big the system is
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any previous report or certificate
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
Cooper's Corner questions
Can the work in Cooper's Corner be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Cooper's Corner does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Cooper's Corner?
East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Cooper's Corner. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Are you accredited?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?
Drips, smells and weak extraction are clues, but measuring is the reliable way to know. A WFTT or DTT reading gives a clear answer.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and we normally come back within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
A short duct can be cleaned in a few hours, while long ducts and tall risers can need more than one visit. Visits are planned out of hours.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
Readings, photos and, for a full clean, a TR19 certificate. The report says when the next clean is due.

What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
Not every problem is solved by ductwork cleaning, and we will tell you before any work starts. It won’t put right:
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- An extract fan that has stopped working
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
The report names every part of the duct that couldn’t be reached, with the reason. We can fit access panels so those sections are cleaned next time.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: grease leaking from duct joints, smells, or a fan that sounds rough. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.
