How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Lodsworth.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
Before we arrive

Advice
Ductwork cleaning in Lodsworth, done properly
Once air leaves the canopy, it travels through ductwork that most people never see. Every horizontal run and vertical riser collects grease along the way and a fire in the duct can spread through the building. Our ductwork cleaning reaches inside the runs and risers through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. The work covers horizontal duct runs, attenuators and multi-storey ducts, and the jobs we see most are a duct nobody has opened in years and a duct clean needed for an insurer.
Work in a small place like Lodsworth starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Part by part
Attenuators and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, quieten the extract, but they can hold grease in their linings. They’re cleaned where possible and recorded if not.
Vertical risers
Cleaning a riser needs access along its height. Any part that cannot be safely reached is recorded.
Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Lodsworth
Air cools as it moves away from the canopy. Cooling air drops its grease onto the inside of the duct, so duct runs keep collecting grease long after the canopy.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
- Years of grease along the duct floor
A hospital like Midhurst Community Hospital, about 2.4 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
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 pictures, so each one has its own record.
Why deal with it now?
Grease narrows the duct and slows the air. Less air moves, so heat and smoke stay in the kitchen while the fan strains and grease can drip from duct joints. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What else we do in Lodsworth
Kitchen extracts in Lodsworth
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Lodsworth. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Lodsworth sits within the area of 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. In Lodsworth, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Chichester council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of St Peter or anywhere around Lodsworth, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Lodsworth (Cowdray House is about 2.4 miles south-west), fitting access panels needs care.

What affects the quote in Lodsworth
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The size of the system
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What a clean will not put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Fire dampers that don’t close (they need testing and remedials)
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Sections that cannot be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

Which environmental health team covers Lodsworth?
In Lodsworth, it’s Chichester council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
