How we price ductwork cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- How big the system is
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition of the system
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Holton Hill

Somewhere as small as Holton Hill, 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, whatever the size of the place.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Part by part
Horizontal duct runs
Flat runs of duct link the canopy to the riser or the outside wall. They collect grease as the air cools and slows, and we clean them section by section through access panels.
Access panels
Extra panels can be installed where there are gaps, making future cleans more complete. We’ll recommend where they should go.
Kitchen extracts in Holton Hill
Holton Hill, about 40 miles from central London, is within our usual area. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. In Holton Hill, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Rother council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.

How it works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. For a village or hamlet like Holton Hill, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- 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.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Holton Hill and across East Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers
- Vertical risers
- Attenuators

When to call us in Holton Hill
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease collects on the riser walls and gathers at the bottom, where it can pool. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
What we are most often called out for:
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Bartholomew or elsewhere in Holton Hill, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Before you book anyone
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
FAQs for Holton Hill
Is Holton Hill within the area you cover?
Yes. Holton Hill is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you come to Holton Hill after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Holton Hill doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How do you clean inside the ductwork?
After a survey and grease readings, the duct is opened up through its access panels. We clean the runs and risers section by section, then the readings are repeated.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, where the photos show enough. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
