Ductwork cleaning around Domewood
Food Standards Agency records list about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Domewood. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. Environmental health officers from Mid Sussex council inspect food businesses in Domewood. 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. Domewood sits within the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Imberhorne School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. A hospital like Queen Victoria Hospital, about 3.6 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Saint Hill Manor, about 3.5 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Domewood; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Ductwork cleaning in Domewood, done properly
Every duct has its own route. A few metres to an outside wall, or a riser up through the building to a roof fan. The survey traces the route, so we know where to get in and how long it will take. If you have gaps where access panels were never fitted and years of grease along the duct floor, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, 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. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Leave a way through to the access panels
The report names every part of the duct that couldn’t be reached and why. We can fit access panels so those sections are cleaned next time.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. A change in cooking hours may change the interval under BESA guidance, and grease thickness testing will show it.
What a clean will not put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A duct that is too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- Duct sections that need replacing
- Faulty fire dampers
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Horizontal duct runs
- Access panels
- Attenuators
- Vertical risers
- Multi-storey ducts
- Bends and junctions

Domewood: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Domewood?
That’s Mid Sussex council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Domewood. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Is Domewood within the area you cover?
Yes, Domewood is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. After that, simply call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?
It follows the same interval as the whole extract, ranging from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Readings tell you if it needs to be more often.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. If photos aren’t enough, we’ll survey first.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do we have to stop cooking while the ducts are cleaned?
Out of hours, at a time that suits the kitchen. Long ducts can be split across visits, with the kitchen ready to cook each morning.
Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
In taller buildings, a riser may pass through several floors and fire compartments, where fire dampers may be fitted. We test those as a separate job.
Access panels
We can fit new access panels where the duct needs them, so the next clean reaches more of the system. The survey shows where they’re needed.
What happens if it’s left?
Under BESA guidance, the mean grease level should stay at or below 200 microns between cleans. A reading of 500 microns or more at any point means a spot clean straight away. Leaving the duct makes those limits harder to keep to. A fault that closes a site in a village like Domewood affects everyone who depends on it.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Somewhere as small as Domewood, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- 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.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear the space around the work
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
