Common questions in Horney Common
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Horney Common?
Food hygiene inspections in Horney Common are carried out by Wealden council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can you come to Horney Common after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Horney Common needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, you get a TR19 certificate and a photo report. It includes readings, photos and any unreachable sections.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
Start with the date of the last clean. If it’s overdue, or there is not one, a clean is due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
Short runs are quick, but long or complex ducts may take several visits. Visits are planned out of hours.
Grease, kitchens and Horney Common
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 pubs, bars and clubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Horney Common. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Fire safety in Horney Common falls to East 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. Food hygiene inspections in Horney Common are the job of Wealden council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Uckfield Community Hospital about 3.5 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Church and community hall kitchens, near Christ Church or anywhere around Horney Common, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What else we do in Horney Common
What a clean will not put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- Parts of the duct with no way in
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Horizontal duct runs
- Access panels
- Attenuators
- Vertical risers
- Bends and junctions
- Multi-storey ducts
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Leave a way through to the access panels
The report names every part of the duct that couldn’t be reached and why. We can fit access panels so those sections are cleaned next time.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
Why deal with it now?
Dealing with the ductwork in Horney Common now beats dealing with it after a problem. The work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers, done out of hours so the kitchen keeps cooking. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- We diagnose before we treat
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001

What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Horney Common knowing what to expect.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
How we price ductwork cleaning
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The condition of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Parking and loading at the site
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your last certificate, test record or report
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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.
How the job changes from site to site
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Long ducts in larger buildings can mean several visits. We agree a sequence that suits the building, out of hours where possible.
Access panels
After cleaning, every panel is closed and sealed so the duct stays tight. A damaged panel is noted on the report.
