Duct cleaning in Langney
Professional ductwork cleaning in and around Langney, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and photos.
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
- Don’t switch the extract off early
- Store the certificate with the fire risk assessment
- Keep to the interval on the report
The report names every part of the duct that couldn’t be reached and why. You can then decide whether to have access panels fitted.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
How we handle ductwork cleaning in Langney
Duct cleaning is the hardest part of an extract clean, and the part most often skipped. Sections with no way in can go uncleaned for years. We open up every reachable section and record any we cannot reach, so you know exactly where you stand. If you are dealing with grease leaking from duct joints and hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs, we can put it right.
In a smaller place like Langney, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. We plan the journey to Langney and bring what the job is likely to need.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Advice
How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
A long flat run cannot be cleaned from one end. Where the gaps between panels are too long, we record what couldn’t be reached and can fit extra panels.
Bends and transitions
A bend can hold far more grease than a straight run of the same length. It’s scraped out and degreased, and readings are taken there before and after.
Why it’s worth doing now in Langney
Dealing with the ductwork in Langney now beats dealing with it after a problem. The work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points, and we work evenings, overnight and weekends. When a site near Langney shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
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.
Langney: your questions answered
Which fire authority looks after Langney?
It’s East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Langney. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Does the sea air around Langney make a difference to ductwork cleaning?
It can. Salt air reaches Langney, which is within about 2 miles of the coast, and it speeds up rust. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and we usually come back within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we’ll survey first.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote and we will usually reply within one working day.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
What a clean will not put right
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Duct sections that need replacing
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
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, next to our reports.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Langney
Langney is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. There are about 50 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 18 takeaways and sandwich shops across Langney and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. The duct above a busy canopy coats itself in grease long before anyone sees it. Langney is covered by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Eastbourne District General Hospital is the nearest hospital to Langney, about 2.3 miles south-west. School kitchens, at schools like Langney Primary Academy for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St. Richard, or anywhere in Langney, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
