About our ductwork cleaning in Jarvis Brook
Many ducts were installed with too few access doors. TR19 calls for any section we couldn’t reach to be recorded, and we can fit new access panels so it’s cleaned next time. An honest report beats a guess. The work covers horizontal duct runs, attenuators and bends and junctions, and common reasons people get in touch are fat dripping from the ductwork and readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test.
In a village or hamlet like Jarvis Brook, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Common questions in Jarvis Brook
Can you get to a site in Jarvis Brook?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Jarvis Brook is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work at weekends in Jarvis Brook?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Jarvis Brook keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How long will the duct clean take?
A short duct can be cleaned in a few hours, while long ducts and tall risers can need more than one visit. We plan the work around your kitchen.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Never cook with a filter missing
Access panels are closed and sealed back up after cleaning, and the surrounding area is left clean. Waste grease and water are taken away.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: grease leaking from duct joints, smells, or a fan that sounds rough. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
Kitchen extracts in Jarvis Brook
There are about 14 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 9 takeaways in Jarvis Brook and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, grease doesn’t stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Jarvis Brook. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Food hygiene inspections in Jarvis Brook are the job of Wealden council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. 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 Crowborough War Memorial Hospital about 1.3 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. For schools such as Jarvis Brook Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Around Jarvis Brook
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Beacon Academy and the streets around them. There’s a railway station in Jarvis Brook itself: Crowborough station. Well-known places in the area include Crowborough War Memorial Hospital (1.3 miles west). The countryside around Jarvis Brook includes Crowborough Country Park.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Jarvis Brook.
- 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.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting 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 photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What we are called out for in Jarvis Brook
A duct with too few access doors can’t be fully cleaned. Sections between panels go uncleaned, sometimes since the system was installed, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
Commuter trade near Crowborough station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

Why act early in Jarvis Brook
Booking the duct clean in Jarvis Brook now keeps it a planned job. The work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points, done out of hours so the kitchen keeps cooking. In a place like Jarvis Brook, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
