Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Dukes Green
Many ducts were installed with too few access doors. TR19 calls for any section we couldn’t reach to be recorded, and new panels can be fitted to reach it in future. An honest report beats a guess. The work covers bends and junctions, attenuators and vertical risers, and people most often call us about ductwork that has never been cleaned and fat dripping from the ductwork.
For a kitchen in or near Dukes Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Common problems we fix in Dukes Green
The further the air travels from the cooking, the cooler it gets. As it cools, the grease it carries condenses onto the duct walls, so duct runs keep collecting grease long after the canopy.
Clients normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- A duct nobody has opened in years
School kitchens, at schools like Alfriston School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a building with several floors, the duct may pass other tenants’ spaces. Access is planned with the building’s managers, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
Vertical risers
Risers often pass through floors and walls, so fire dampers may be fitted where it crosses them. Damper testing is a separate service.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed 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. The timing of a visit to Dukes Green 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
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Dukes Green
Can the work in Dukes Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Dukes Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which fire service covers Dukes Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Dukes Green is handled by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Who is the responsible person?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
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.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
Allow from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. We will confirm the time when we quote.
Is Dukes Green in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Dukes Green.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside 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, which is where we come in.
Why deal with it now?
Fire inside a duct is out of sight and out of reach. The duct can carry it to rooms, floors or roof spaces well away from the kitchen, so cleaning the duct is as important as cleaning the hood. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will explain what it covers.

Ductwork cleaning in Dukes Green: the local picture
Dukes Green lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 8 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Dukes Green. Each kitchen that cooks under a canopy sends grease-laden air into a duct, where it cools and settles. The fire and rescue service for Dukes Green is 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.
Alfriston Clergy House, about 0.5 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Dukes Green; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Where a hall near The Parish Church of St Michael the Archangel, or anywhere in Dukes Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
