Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in High Salvington
In doctor’s terms, the ductwork is the system’s arteries: find the blockages, clear them, then check the flow is right. Readings taken before and after show the difference, alongside before and after photos. The work covers horizontal duct runs, multi-storey ducts and vertical risers, and people most often call us about grease pooling at the foot of the riser and proof of duct cleaning for the insurer.
For a smaller kitchen near High Salvington, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

High Salvington questions
Will you come out to High Salvington?
Yes, High Salvington is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around High Salvington out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 7 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of High Salvington. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
Duct length, access and grease levels all affect it. As a guide, it takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Typically, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. If photos are not enough, we’ll survey first.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.

What else we do in High Salvington
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like High Salvington, so let us know how to reach it.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- Readings and photos are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear loose items from the work area

What ductwork cleaning looks like in High Salvington
The FSA’s data shows about 10 pubs and bars registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of High Salvington. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. High Salvington sits within the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in High Salvington get their food hygiene inspections from Worthing council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Peter, or anywhere in High Salvington, 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 (Ecclesden Manor is about 3.1 miles south-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Need a price for ductwork cleaning? Please call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site. We will talk you through the work and send you a fixed quote before anything is booked.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Make sure filters are seated properly
Keep the certificate and report with the fire risk assessment. It’s the evidence an insurer or inspector may ask for, and the photos make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
Why act early in High Salvington
There’s no law that names TR19. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the duct is part of that. Light use slows the build-up but doesn’t stop it.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Signs you need ductwork cleaning in High Salvington
Slow air leaves the most grease behind. Long horizontal runs, bends, changes in size and the foot of a riser all collect more, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
Look out for any of the following:
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
For schools such as Vale School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Questions to ask before booking
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
A long flat run cannot be cleaned from one end. Where the gaps between panels are too long, we record what couldn’t be reached and can fit extra panels.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a building with several floors, the duct may pass other tenants’ spaces. We plan access with you and the building manager, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
