Why it’s worth doing now in Lullington
Old grease in a duct for a kitchen in Lullington doesn’t stay soft. Heat and age turn it into a thick, stubborn crust, which makes each delayed clean a bigger one. In a small place like Lullington, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

About our ductwork cleaning in Lullington
Every duct has its own route. A few metres to an outside wall, or a riser up through the building to a roof fan. The survey traces the route, so we know where to get in and how long it will take. If you’re dealing with smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork and gaps where access panels were never fitted, we can help.
In a small place like Lullington, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What ductwork cleaning looks like in Lullington
The coast is only about 3 miles from Lullington. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. There are about 6 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Lullington, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. The duct above a busy canopy coats itself in grease long before anyone sees it. Kitchens in Lullington get their food hygiene inspections from Wealden council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Alfriston Clergy House is about 0.3 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. A hospital like Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital, about 4.3 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Lullington is about 3 miles north-east of Seaford, in East Sussex. Lullington gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with photos. Our East Sussex coverage runs to 289 places, and Lullington is one of them. Brighton is in our area too, about 13 miles from Lullington.

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Lullington
Who is the fire and rescue service for Lullington?
East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Lullington. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you work at weekends in Lullington?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Lullington doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What information do you need?
The site address, the type of premises and your opening hours, plus pictures of the system and your last certificate or report if you have one.
Who is the responsible person?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
How we price ductwork cleaning
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether several sites go on one quote
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The site address and the type of premises
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Lullington
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Lullington?
Air cools as it moves away from the canopy. As it cools, the grease it carries condenses onto the duct walls, so duct runs keep collecting grease long after the canopy.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- Sections of duct with no access panels
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Alfriston School or anywhere near Lullington, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
What your quote should include
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What hours they’ll be on site
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Somewhere like Lullington, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and pictures repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Find the previous report, if there is one

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.
Vertical risers
Risers often pass through floors and walls, where fire dampers may be fitted. We test those as a separate job.
