What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
How we handle ductwork cleaning in Eastergate
Many ducts were installed with too few access doors. Where a section can’t be reached, TR19 expects it to be recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted to reach it in future. An honest report beats a guess. If you are dealing with duct runs with no cleaning record and thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Eastergate, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Eastergate
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- What state the system is in
- The times the site is available
- The number of sites or systems
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- A few general shots of the system
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Why it’s worth doing now in Eastergate
There’s no law that names TR19. The Fire Safety Order 2005 makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. In a place like Eastergate, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Why book with us
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- Every job surveyed first
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Every visit written up, with pictures
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. In a small place like Eastergate, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Related advice
Eastergate: your questions answered
Can you come to Eastergate after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Will you come out to Eastergate?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Eastergate is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes. We will point out where panels are needed, and fitting them means future cleans are more complete.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
The date on the last certificate is the first thing to check. If it’s overdue, or there is not one, a clean is due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
How long will the duct clean take?
Allow a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. We will confirm the time when we quote.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
Risers carry the extract up through the building to the roof. Grease runs down the walls and gathers at the base, so the base is one of our test points.
Bends and transitions
A bend can hold far more grease than a straight run of the same length. It’s scraped out and degreased, and readings are taken there before and after.

Ductwork cleaning around Eastergate
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Eastergate, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Food hygiene inspections in Eastergate are the job of Arun council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Eastergate falls to West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Where a hall near St George's Church, or anywhere in Eastergate, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Eastergate CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What we are called out for in Eastergate
Air cools as it moves away from the canopy. As it cools, the grease it carries condenses onto the duct walls, which is why ducts go on gathering grease well beyond the filters.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital is the nearest hospital to Eastergate, about 3.4 miles south.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
