What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The scale of the work
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- 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
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Ductwork cleaning in Ingrams Green
Many ducts were installed with too few access doors. Where a section cannot be reached, TR19 expects it to be recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted to reach it in future. It’s better to know than to assume. Typical jobs include thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct and sections of duct with no access panels, across multi-storey ducts, horizontal duct runs and bends and junctions.
Somewhere as small as Ingrams Green, 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.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections cannot be reached
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Don’t block access panels with shelving or stock
You will have a recommended date for the next clean, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Ingrams Green
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ingrams Green
A fire in a greasy duct is hard to reach and hard to stop. The duct can carry it to rooms, floors or roof spaces well away from the kitchen, so cleaning the duct is as important as cleaning the hood. If the system at a site near Ingrams Green fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Ingrams Green: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Ingrams Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Ingrams Green are carried out by Chichester council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.

What does ductwork cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do you install duct access panels?
Yes. We’ll point out where panels are needed, and we can fit them so those sections are cleaned in future.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
When is the ductwork cleaned?
When the kitchen is closed. Larger systems may be cleaned over several nights, with the kitchen ready to cook each morning.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Somewhere as small as Ingrams Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote

When to call us in Ingrams Green
The further the air travels from the cooking, the cooler it gets. As it cools, the grease it carries condenses onto the duct walls, which is why ducts go on gathering grease well beyond the filters.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Grease leaking from duct joints
Cowdray House, about 3.1 miles east, is one of the historic houses near Ingrams Green; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
