Ductwork cleaning in Fishbourne, done properly
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? A few details about the system are a good start when you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will give you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, normally within one working day. The work covers multi-storey ducts, attenuators and vertical risers, and the jobs we see most are duct runs with no cleaning record and years of grease along the duct floor.
In a smaller place like Fishbourne, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why it’s worth doing now in Fishbourne
Dealing with the ductwork in Fishbourne now beats dealing with it after a problem. It takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends. Around Fishbourne, a kitchen or building out of action is missed right away.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What else we do in Fishbourne
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive 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. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. A site near Fishbourne typically has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- 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.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Get a fixed 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. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The size of the system
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- A few general shots of the system
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

Part by part
Attenuators and discharge
At the end of the duct is the discharge. Grease can collect there and stain the area around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
Vertical risers
A riser takes the duct up through one or more floors. Grease collects on the walls and at the foot of the riser, so the base is one of our test points.
Fishbourne questions
Does the sea air around Fishbourne make a difference to ductwork cleaning?
It can, as Fishbourne is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at every visit.
Can school kitchens in Fishbourne be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 15 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Fishbourne. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we will plan around them.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
Every clean comes with a photo report, and a full TR19 clean also comes with a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. File them with the fire risk assessment.
Is a quote from photos possible?
In many cases, yes. With good photos, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
What if part of the duct cannot be reached?
Without a way in, a section cannot be cleaned properly. Those parts are listed, and we can install panels so they’re reached next time.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep to the interval on the report
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
After the clean, the same points are tested again, giving you before and after readings. Before and after pictures sit next to the numbers.
Have access panels fitted where sections cannot be reached. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem 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 send you a fixed quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Kitchen extracts in Fishbourne
Sea air reaches Fishbourne, which sits within about 3 miles of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. The FSA’s data shows about 31 pubs, bars and clubs and about 6 hotels and guest houses registered across Fishbourne and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Food hygiene inspections in Fishbourne are the job of Chichester council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Fishbourne CofE Primary School or anywhere near Fishbourne, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Richard's Hospital (about 1.9 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. For kitchens close to Fishbourne station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
