How we handle ductwork cleaning in Goose Green
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. If you have grease seeping out of the duct seams and readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Goose Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Goose Green kitchens: local notes
About 40 miles out from central London, Goose Green is part of the South East area we work across. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Environmental health officers from Horsham council inspect food businesses in Goose Green. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
School kitchens, at schools like Rydon Community College for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Goose Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Goose Green is about 9 miles south-west of Horsham, in West Sussex.

When to call us in Goose Green
A duct with too few access doors cannot be fully cleaned. Stretches with no way in may never have been touched, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- High readings at a recent grease test
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Grease leaking from duct joints
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Goose Green (Parham House is about 4.5 miles south-west), fitting access panels needs care.
What to look for in a quote
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Proof of insurance
- When the next visit should be, and why
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
What happens if it’s left?
Fire inside a duct is out of sight and out of reach. It can travel through the ductwork to other parts of the building, so cleaning the duct is as important as cleaning the hood. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.

Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Never cook with a filter missing
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
The report names every part of the duct that couldn’t be reached and why. You can then decide whether to have access panels fitted.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
Part by part
Attenuators and discharge
The discharge is where the duct ends and air leaves the building. Grease can collect there and stain the area around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
Access panels
Extra panels can be installed where there are gaps, making future cleans more complete. The survey shows where they’re needed.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers, and we clear up before we go. In a small place like Goose Green, 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.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- Readings, pictures and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Get a fixed quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.

FAQs for Goose Green
Do you work overnight in Goose Green?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Goose Green keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you get to a site in Goose Green?
Yes. Goose Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
What should I send you?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, plus photos of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
We measure it. Using a Wet Film Thickness Test or Deposit Thickness Test, we check the grease at set points. A mean above 200 microns, or 500 microns at any point, means it’s due.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
