We’re often asked to deal with fat dripping from the ductwork and gaps where access panels were never fitted, across access panels, vertical risers and attenuators.
In a small place like Jenkins' Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.

What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Common questions in Jenkins' Green
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Jenkins' Green during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Jenkins' Green. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
Does the sea air around Jenkins' Green make a difference to ductwork cleaning?
It can, as Jenkins' Green is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at every visit.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
What’s the cleaning interval for extract ductwork?
The minimum depends on how long the kitchen cooks each day: 3-monthly for heavy use, 6-monthly for moderate and 12-monthly for light use. Measured grease sets the real interval.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
Duct length, access and grease levels all affect it. As a guide, it takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Jenkins' Green.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- We measure grease thickness at set points before cleaning.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- Post-clean readings and photos go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Jenkins' Green
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The number of sites or systems
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site rules, permits and inductions
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will talk you through it.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Duct sections that need replacing
- Parts of the duct with no way in
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Kitchen extracts in Jenkins' Green
Jenkins' Green is within about 3 miles of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Food Standards Agency data counts about 11 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Jenkins' Green. Wherever those kitchens cook under a canopy, the horizontal runs and risers need cleaning as well as the hood. Jenkins' Green is covered by East 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Luke's Church, or anywhere in Jenkins' Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Eastbourne District General Hospital about 3.1 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Jenkins' Green
A duct with too few access doors cannot be fully cleaned. Stretches with no way in may never have been touched, and grease there keeps thickening unseen.
Look out for any of the following:
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Duct runs that cannot be reached
- Grease leaking from duct joints
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Michelham Priory is about 4.8 miles north-west), access may need planning.
