Grease, kitchens and Crowhurst
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 hotels and guest houses as registered food businesses in and around Crowhurst, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. It’s Rother council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Crowhurst. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in Crowhurst falls to 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.
If you run a café or takeaway near Crowhurst station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. A hospital like Bexhill Hospital, about 2.8 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

What else we do in Crowhurst
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Duct sections that need replacing
- A duct that is too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Multi-storey ducts
- Attenuators
- Vertical risers
- Access panels
- Bends and junctions
- Horizontal duct runs
Why act early in Crowhurst
Grease left in a duct in Crowhurst hardens over time. It bakes into a hard layer that takes far longer to remove, which makes each delayed clean a bigger one. If the system at a site near Crowhurst fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What you get with us
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- We are fully insured
What we are called out for in Crowhurst
Air cools as it moves away from the canopy. Cooling air drops its grease onto the inside of the duct, so duct runs keep collecting grease long after the canopy.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Crowhurst CofE Primary School or anywhere near Crowhurst, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Crowhurst
Is Crowhurst within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Crowhurst included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which council inspects kitchens in Crowhurst?
The local authority for Crowhurst is Rother council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes. We’ll point out where panels are needed, and we can fit them so those sections are cleaned in future.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
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 does ductwork cleaning cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. We fix the price before work begins.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Crowhurst
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The scale of the work
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
How it works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. The timing of a visit to Crowhurst is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
