Ductwork cleaning in Funtington, done properly
We have been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, with each certificate issued through the BESCA portal. If you’re dealing with smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork and gaps where access panels were never fitted, we can help, from access panels, bends and junctions and vertical risers onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Funtington, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually 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, whatever the size of the place.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Funtington and across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
How the visit works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Somewhere like Funtington, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Funtington
Grease in a duct running from a kitchen in Funtington is as much a fire risk as in any building. Once it lights, fire can spread along the duct and into other areas, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Stale grease odours from the duct
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Funtington Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Ductwork cleaning around Funtington
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses in and around Funtington, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. The fire and rescue service for Funtington is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Environmental health officers from Chichester council inspect food businesses in Funtington. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Funtington, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (West Dean House is about 4.6 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

What affects the quote in Funtington
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The size of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any previous report or certificate
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
The underside of a horizontal duct collects the most grease. Thick deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A duct that climbs several floors may be cleaned over more than one visit. Visits are planned around the building’s hours, out of hours where possible.

What else we do in Funtington
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
- Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It records the date, the location and the technician.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
Why act early in Funtington
A partly blocked duct slows the airflow. Less air moves, so heat and smoke stay in the kitchen while the fan strains and grease can drip from duct joints. If the system at a site near Funtington fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
