What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
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 not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings

Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Marden's Hill
We treat ductwork like a doctor treats arteries: diagnose where grease has built up, clear it and confirm the result. Readings taken before and after show the difference, alongside before and after pictures. If you have grease leaking from duct joints and heavy grease at the base of a riser, we can put it right, from multi-storey ducts, horizontal duct runs and vertical risers onwards.
Somewhere as small as Marden's Hill, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Leave it or put it right?
A dirty duct is something insurers ask about. Many policies require TR19 cleaning, and a claim may be refused or reduced without evidence. Your certificate and photo report show the ducts were cleaned. In a small place like Marden's Hill, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Marden's Hill run smoothly.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
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, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections cannot be reached
File the paperwork in the maintenance log. It’s the evidence an insurer or inspector may ask for, and the photos make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across East Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Common questions in Marden's Hill
Can you come to Marden's Hill after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Marden's Hill keeps running as normal. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Marden's Hill?
It’s East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Marden's Hill. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
It depends on the site, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site and its opening hours.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
We survey the route, test the grease, then open the access panels. Each run and riser is scraped and degreased, and test again when we’re done.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. The report shows readings, pictures and any sections we couldn’t reach.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Usually, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. If pictures are not enough, we will survey first.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.

Do you need ductwork cleaning in Marden's Hill?
A vertical riser can run up several floors. Grease clings to the walls and can run down to the base, where it can pool. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
What we are most often called out for:
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- A duct nobody has opened in years
Church and community hall kitchens, near St John's Church or anywhere around Marden's Hill, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
