About our ductwork cleaning in Dragons Green
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? A few details about the system are a good start when you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll send you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, typically within one working day. We are often asked to deal with proof of duct cleaning for the insurer and years of grease along the duct floor, on bends and junctions, multi-storey ducts and horizontal duct runs.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Dragons Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- We test again, take pictures and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Advice
Questions from Dragons Green
Which environmental health team covers Dragons Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Dragons Green are carried out by Horsham council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Will you come out to Dragons Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Dragons Green included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
We open each access panel and clean the section it reaches. Grease is scraped out first, then degreased, with readings taken before and after.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
A short duct can be cleaned in a few hours, but long or complex ducts may take several visits. Visits are planned out of hours.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
What the work involves, part by part
Attenuators and discharge
The discharge is where the duct ends and air leaves the building. It can gather grease and mark the wall or roof around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
Access panels
Every section of duct is cleaned through an access panel. Without them, parts of the duct can’t be reached, and TR19 expects them to be recorded.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
When to call us in Dragons Green
A duct with too few access doors can’t be fully cleaned. Stretches with no way in may never have been touched, and the grease there keeps building out of sight.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Dragons Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Proof of insurance
Kitchen extracts in Dragons Green
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs in Dragons Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Food hygiene inspections in Dragons Green are the job of Horsham council’s environmental health team. 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. The fire and rescue service for Dragons Green is 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.

What affects the quote in Dragons Green
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition we find in the survey
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Any permits to work or inductions
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The site address and the type of premises
