What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
How we handle ductwork cleaning in Findon
We treat ductwork like a doctor treats arteries: find the blockages, clear them, then check the flow is right. Readings taken before and after show the difference, alongside before and after photos. If you have ductwork that has never been cleaned and grease seeping out of the duct seams, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Findon, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of a flat duct run. Thick deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
Bends and transitions
A bend can hold far more grease than a straight run of the same length. We clean it back by hand and with degreaser, and test it before and after.
What affects the quote in Findon
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
If you need ductwork cleaning in Findon, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send photos or your last report if you can. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Somewhere as small as Findon, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- 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.
- Readings and pictures are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Advice
FAQs for Findon
Do you cover smaller places like Findon?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Findon is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you work in Findon outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Why act early in Findon
Old grease in a duct for a kitchen in Findon doesn’t stay soft. It bakes into a hard layer that takes far longer to remove, so the later the clean, the bigger the job. A fault that closes a site in a village like Findon affects everyone who depends on it.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Ductwork cleaning in Findon: the local picture
The FSA’s data shows about 3 pubs and bars registered in and around Findon, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Food hygiene inspections in Findon are the job of Arun council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Findon. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
A hospital like Worthing Hospital, about 3.9 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Ecclesden Manor is about 3.8 miles south-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of St John the Baptist or anywhere around Findon, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Findon is about 3 miles north of Worthing, in West Sussex. From the centre of Findon to the outskirts, ductwork cleaning is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building. Our West Sussex coverage runs to 371 places, and Findon is one of them. Brighton is in our area too, around 12 miles away.
