Grease, kitchens and Kingsfold
There are about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Kingsfold and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever those kitchens cook under a canopy, the horizontal runs and risers need cleaning as well as the hood. Kingsfold is covered by 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. In Kingsfold, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Horsham council. 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.
A hospital like Horsham Hospital, about 3.2 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. In and around Kingsfold, every reachable section of the extract is cleaned, and anything we can’t reach goes on the report.

Ductwork cleaning in Kingsfold, done properly
Grease in a duct is hidden, which is exactly why it’s dangerous. Flames pulled in from the cooking line can ignite it, and fire can then run along the ductwork to other parts of the building. Cleaning the duct takes that fuel away. Common call-outs are for readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test and a duct nobody has opened in years, on attenuators, vertical risers and multi-storey ducts.
In a small place like Kingsfold, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What else we do in Kingsfold
What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work 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 Kingsfold.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- We test again, take photos and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Move anything stored near the system

Part by part
Multi-storey and shared buildings
In a building with several floors, the duct may pass other tenants’ spaces. Access is planned with the building’s managers, so the clean is done safely and quietly.
Horizontal duct runs
Horizontal runs carry the extract along ceilings and through voids. They collect grease as the air cools and slows, and we clean them section by section through access panels.
Kingsfold: your questions answered
Which fire authority looks after Kingsfold?
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Kingsfold. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Is Kingsfold within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Kingsfold is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, we do. We’ll point out where panels are needed, and we can fit them so those sections are cleaned in future.
How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?
Signs include grease dripping from joints, smells and a fan working harder, but measuring is the reliable way to know. A WFTT or DTT reading gives a clear answer.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
We get into the duct through its access panels. Heavy grease is scraped out by hand, then the surfaces are degreased with a method that suits the deposit, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, along with a few pictures and any previous report.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Why deal with it now?
There’s no law that names TR19. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. In a place like Kingsfold, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Why book with us
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition we find in the survey
- The times the site is available
- Site rules, permits and inductions
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any previous report or certificate
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Need a price for ductwork cleaning? Please call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site. We’ll talk you through the work and send you a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
- Make sure filters are seated properly
After the clean, the same points are tested again, so the report shows the before and after figures. Before and after pictures sit next to the numbers.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Sections that can’t be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- Fire dampers that don’t close (they need testing and remedials)
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before you book.
