How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. For a place like East Worthing, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- We test again, take photos and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Ductwork cleaning in East Worthing
In doctor’s terms, the ductwork is the system’s arteries: diagnose where grease has built up, clear it and confirm the result. Grease readings before and after give you the evidence, alongside before and after photos. The work covers bends and junctions, access panels and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are a duct clean needed for an insurer and a rancid smell from the extract duct.
Around a smaller place like East Worthing, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

East Worthing questions
Which fire authority looks after East Worthing?
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for East Worthing. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Does coastal air change anything about ductwork cleaning in East Worthing?
Yes, to a degree: at about 1 mile from the coast, East Worthing gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
We survey the route, test the grease, then open the access panels. Each run and riser is scraped and degreased, then the readings are repeated.
What if part of the duct cannot be reached?
Without a way in, a section cannot be cleaned properly. We record those sections on the report and can fit access panels.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, then a fixed quote.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
A photo report, with readings and before and after photos, plus a TR19 certificate for a full system clean. The report says when the next clean is due.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Why deal with it now?
Insurers know the risk of a greasy duct. Many require cleaning to TR19, and they can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. A certificate that covers the ductwork is what they want to see. A site near East Worthing that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.

Common problems we fix in East Worthing
A duct with too few access doors can’t be fully cleaned. Sections between panels go uncleaned, sometimes since the system was installed, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- A duct nobody has opened in years
A hospital like Worthing Hospital, about 0.7 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

When it’s something else
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what ductwork cleaning won’t do:
- Fire dampers that don’t close (they need testing and remedials)
- Parts of the duct with no way in
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

Different parts, different methods
Attenuators and discharge
The last section of duct before the discharge is often the coolest, which can mean heavier deposits. We include it in the clean and the readings.
Vertical risers
Risers often pass through floors and walls, where fire dampers may be fitted. Damper testing is a separate service.
