West Sussex · Ductwork cleaning
Crosspost ductwork cleaning
Cleaning of kitchen extract ductwork, horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Crosspost. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Stale grease odours from the duct
When to call us in Crosspost
Damaged or poorly fitted filters let more grease into the duct. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should, and build-up speeds up.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- A duct nobody has opened in years
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as The Dene Hospital (about 2.5 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Questions to ask before booking
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Crosspost
We treat ductwork like a doctor treats arteries: diagnose where grease has built up, clear it and confirm the result. Grease readings before and after give you the evidence, alongside before and after pictures. The work covers multi-storey ducts, vertical risers and access panels, and the jobs we see most are heavy grease at the base of a riser and smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork.
In a village or hamlet like Crosspost, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Crosspost
Will you come out to Crosspost?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Crosspost included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Crosspost?
Kitchens in Crosspost are inspected by Mid Sussex council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
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’re fully insured.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.

Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Horizontal runs carry the extract along ceilings and through voids. They collect grease as the air cools and slows, so each section is cleaned through its access panels.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Ducts in taller or shared buildings often run past other occupiers. Access is planned with the building’s managers, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
Why deal with it now?
Grease narrows the duct and slows the air. The fan works harder, the kitchen gets hotter and smoke lingers at the canopy and grease can drip from duct joints. Planning a trip to Crosspost ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Never cook with a filter missing
After the clean, the same points are tested again, giving you before and after readings. Photos of each section go alongside them.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.
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’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The size of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- The times the site is available
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The site address and the type of premises
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
The process
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. In a small place like Crosspost, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear the space around the work
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote

Advice
Ductwork cleaning around Crosspost
Food Standards Agency data counts about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Crosspost, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they cook under a canopy, grease doesn’t stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. Kitchens in Crosspost get their food hygiene inspections from Mid Sussex council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Crosspost. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Ockenden Manor is about 3.1 miles north-east), access may need planning. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Bolney CofE Primary School or anywhere near Crosspost, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
