About our ductwork cleaning in Hoyle
Each extract duct we take on in Hoyle goes through the full routine: readings at set points, heavy grease scraped out by hand, then degreasing to suit the deposit. Post-clean readings and pictures complete the record. Common call-outs are for years of grease along the duct floor and fat dripping from the ductwork, across vertical risers, access panels and horizontal duct runs.
For a kitchen in or near Hoyle, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Ductwork cleaning in Hoyle: the local picture
Hoyle 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. It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hoyle. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Cowdray House is about 2.2 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of St James or anywhere around Hoyle, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Hoyle is about 9 miles north of Chichester, in West Sussex. Every kind of commercial site in Hoyle, ductwork cleaning is something we can help with. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so trading is not interrupted. Our West Sussex coverage runs to 371 places, and Hoyle is one of them. There’s also a page for Portsmouth, about 19 miles away.

What a clean won’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Duct sections that need replacing
- Fire dampers that don’t close (they need testing and remedials)
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on in Hoyle
- Multi-storey ducts
- Attenuators
- Bends and junctions
- Access panels
- Vertical risers
- Horizontal duct runs
What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Hoyle knowing what to expect.
- 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.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Hoyle
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The times the site is available
- The condition we find in the survey
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- A single visit or a regular plan
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The postcode and the type of business
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
Any section of duct we couldn’t reach is listed on the report, with the reason. We can fit access panels so those sections are cleaned next time.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. It does not stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
When to call us in Hoyle
Slow air leaves the most grease behind. Flat runs, bends, reducers and the base of risers are the usual hotspots, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Midhurst Community Hospital (about 2.6 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Hoyle: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Hoyle?
The local authority for Hoyle is Chichester council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Hoyle?
Hoyle is in the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Different parts, different methods
Multi-storey and shared buildings
A duct that climbs several floors may be cleaned over more than one visit. We agree a sequence that suits the building, out of hours where possible.
Bends and transitions
Wherever the duct turns or changes size, grease builds up. The air slows and drops its load, so we clean these points carefully.
