Ductwork cleaning in Littleworth, done properly
Many ducts were installed with too few access doors. TR19 calls for any section we couldn’t reach to be recorded, and new panels can be fitted to reach it in future. It’s better to know than to assume. Typical jobs include duct runs with no cleaning record and grease pooling at the foot of the riser, on multi-storey ducts, vertical risers and horizontal duct runs.
In a small place like Littleworth, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Littleworth kitchens: local notes
Food hygiene inspections in Littleworth are the job of Horsham council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Littleworth falls to West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Jolesfield CofE Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What a clean will not put right
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Duct sections that need replacing
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Littleworth
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition we find in the survey
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Common problems we fix in Littleworth
Ducts in Littleworth gather grease for the same reasons as ducts anywhere: hours of cooking, the type of food and how well the filters are kept. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily use.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- A duct nobody has opened in years
Where a hall near St Michael and All Angels Church, or anywhere in Littleworth, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Before you book anyone
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points, and we clear up before we go. For a village or hamlet like Littleworth, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- 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
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Advice
Littleworth: your questions answered
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Littleworth?
Littleworth is in the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. 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.
Will you come out to Littleworth?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Littleworth included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. It includes readings, pictures and any unreachable sections.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.

How the job changes from site to site
Bends and transitions
Wherever the duct turns or changes size, grease builds up. Slowing air leaves grease behind, so these points get extra attention.
Attenuators and discharge
Near the discharge, the air has cooled the most, so it can collect more grease than expected. It’s tested and cleaned along with the rest.
