About our ductwork cleaning in Hambrook
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. Flames pulled in from the cooking line can ignite it, carrying a fire along the duct and into rooms far from the kitchen. Removing it is the whole point. If you have gaps where access panels were never fitted and a grease test showing the duct is overdue, we can help, from access panels, horizontal duct runs and multi-storey ducts onwards.
Somewhere as small as Hambrook, 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.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How we price ductwork cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- What state the system is in
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The size of the system
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The postcode and the type of business
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
Want a quote for ductwork cleaning? Please ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site. We will talk you through the work and give you a fixed quote before anything is booked.
How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Hambrook.
- 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.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading

Advice
Common questions in Hambrook
Which council inspects kitchens in Hambrook?
Food hygiene inspections in Hambrook are carried out by Chichester council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which fire service covers Hambrook?
It’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Hambrook. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
Every reachable section is cleaned and the rest recorded. Extra panels can be installed, and we can do that for you.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
How is kitchen extract ductwork cleaned?
We get into the duct through its access panels. Thick deposits are removed by hand before degreasing, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
What paperwork do you give after a duct clean?
A photo report, with readings and before and after pictures, plus a TR19 certificate for a full system clean. The report says when the next clean is due.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, as part of our fits and repairs work. Panels go where they give the best access to sections that couldn’t be reached, and we will recommend where.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Hambrook and across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A fire in a duct in a shared building can affect far more than one kitchen, which makes keeping it clean all the more important. The paperwork suits landlords and managing agents.
Access panels
After cleaning, every panel is closed and sealed so the duct stays tight. We’ll tell you if any panel needs replacing.
Hambrook kitchens: local notes
Hambrook is within about 2 miles of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food Standards Agency records include about 6 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Hambrook. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. The fire and rescue service for Hambrook is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Wilfrid's Church and Hall or elsewhere in Hambrook, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. For kitchens close to Nutbourne station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

Why act early in Hambrook
A dirty duct is something insurers ask about. Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and a claim may be refused or reduced without evidence. Your certificate and photo report show the ducts were cleaned. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will explain what it covers.

Do you need ductwork cleaning in Hambrook?
A greasy duct is a fire path, in Hambrook as anywhere. Burning grease can carry fire through the ductwork to other rooms or floors, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
What we are most often called out for:
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Chidham Parochial Primary School or anywhere near Hambrook, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
