What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover

How we handle ductwork cleaning in Henfield
No two duct runs are the same, in Henfield or anywhere else. A few metres to an outside wall, or a riser up through the building to a roof fan. The survey traces the route, so we know where to get in and how long it will take. Common call-outs are for a duct nobody has opened in years and grease seeping out of the duct seams, across bends and junctions, horizontal duct runs and access panels.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Henfield gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Henfield and across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Flag drips from the duct right away
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
- Run the extract fan throughout service
You will have a recommended date for the next clean, based on the readings and your daily cooking hours, in line with BESA guidance.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
Ductwork cleaning around Henfield
There are about 8 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Henfield, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Behind every canopy among them is a run of ductwork that collects grease out of sight. Henfield sits within the area of 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 Horsham council inspect food businesses in Henfield. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; The Dene Hospital is the nearest hospital to Henfield, about 5.4 miles north-east. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Peter's Church or anywhere around Henfield, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. School kitchens, at schools like St Peter's CofE Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Henfield is about 7 miles north of Shoreham-by-Sea, in West Sussex. We carry out ductwork cleaning for commercial premises of every kind in Henfield and the rest of West Sussex. Henfield is one of 371 towns, villages and districts in West Sussex we cover for ductwork cleaning. Our Brighton page covers sites nearby, about 9 miles away.

How the job changes from site to site
Access panels
We can fit new access panels where the duct needs them, making future cleans more complete. The survey shows where they’re needed.
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.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Henfield.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote

FAQs for Henfield
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Henfield?
It’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Henfield. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you work overnight in Henfield?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Henfield needn’t be disturbed. When you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?
It follows the same interval as the whole extract, ranging from 3-monthly to 12-monthly. Grease thickness testing shows whether that’s often enough.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, we fit access panels where the duct needs them. That lets the next clean reach sections that were missed, and the report will show where they’re needed.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address, the site type, your opening hours and how we reach the system. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.

Leave it or put it right?
Booking the duct clean in Henfield now keeps it a planned job. It takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points, done out of hours so the kitchen keeps cooking. A planned visit to Henfield fits your hours; an emergency doesn’t.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
