About our ductwork cleaning in Maresfield
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? A few details about the system are a good start when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and a fixed price will follow, usually within one working day. If you have hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs and grease seeping out of the duct seams, we can put it right, from multi-storey ducts, access panels and attenuators onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Maresfield, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, 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.

What we do, step by step
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself 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 Maresfield.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Also in Maresfield
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- Site rules, permits and inductions
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition 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 we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

When to call us in Maresfield
Grease in a duct running from a kitchen in Maresfield is as much a fire risk as in any building. Burning grease can carry fire through the ductwork to other rooms or floors, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Years of grease along the duct floor
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Parish Church of St Bartholomew or elsewhere in Maresfield, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What ductwork cleaning looks like in Maresfield
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Maresfield. The duct above a busy canopy coats itself in grease long before anyone sees it. Fire safety in Maresfield falls to East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. It’s Wealden council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Maresfield. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Uckfield Community Hospital about 2.3 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. School kitchens, at schools like Bonners CofE School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

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.
Multi-storey and shared buildings
Long ducts in larger buildings can mean several visits. We agree a sequence that suits the building, out of hours where possible.
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. If the system at a site near Maresfield fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Maresfield questions
Do you cover smaller places like Maresfield?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can the work in Maresfield be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Maresfield needn’t be disturbed. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19 clean, you get a TR19 certificate and a photo report. It includes readings, pictures and any unreachable sections.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
We clean everything we can reach and record what we cannot. Fitting extra access panels is the usual answer, and we can do that for you.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
How long will the duct clean take?
Allow a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. The survey tells us how long your duct needs.
