Durrington: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for Durrington?
It’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Durrington. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Which environmental health team covers Durrington?
In Durrington, it’s Worthing council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Is Durrington in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in Durrington, within the South East and London area we cover.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
It takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. The survey tells us how long your duct needs.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
Readings, pictures and, for a full clean, a TR19 certificate. The report says when the next clean is due.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
We survey the route, test the grease, then open the access panels. We clean the runs and risers section by section, then the readings are repeated.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how big it is, what state it’s in, how we reach it and the working hours. You get a fixed price before we start.
How we handle ductwork cleaning in Durrington
Grease in a duct is hidden, which is exactly why it’s dangerous. A flare-up drawn up from the range can light it, and fire can then run along the ductwork to other parts of the building. Removing it is the whole point. The work covers vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and multi-storey ducts, and the jobs we see most are stale grease odours from the duct and hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Durrington gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Durrington
Air cools as it moves away from the canopy. As it cools, the grease it carries condenses onto the duct walls, so duct runs keep collecting grease long after the canopy.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
Historic houses near Durrington, such as Ecclesden Manor about 2.6 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

What a clean will not put right
Ductwork cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Faulty fire dampers
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Ductwork that was poorly designed

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Durrington
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- The size of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How easy every part is to reach
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Problems your staff have spotted
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
- Don’t switch the extract off early
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
The report names every part of the duct that couldn’t be reached, with the reason. You can then decide whether to have access panels fitted.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
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, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Visits to a place like Durrington are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Different parts, different methods
Access panels
Panels have to seal properly once they’re closed, so grease and air stay inside the duct. A damaged panel is noted on the report.
Attenuators and discharge
The last section of duct before the discharge is often the coolest, which can mean heavier deposits. It’s tested and cleaned along with the rest.
Ductwork cleaning in Durrington: the local picture
At about 3 miles from the coast, Durrington is close enough for sea air to matter. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Look up Durrington on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 34 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 34 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Durrington, 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. It’s Worthing council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Durrington. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
School kitchens, at schools like Durrington Junior School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Durrington is The Acre, about 2.2 miles south-east.
