Mid Lavant ductwork cleaning
Ductwork cleaning for Mid Lavant, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Mid Lavant
Nobody sees duct grease building, so nobody notices it until something goes wrong. Flames pulled in from the cooking line can ignite it, carrying a fire along the duct and into rooms far from the kitchen. Cleaning the duct takes that fuel away. Common call-outs are for smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork and heavy grease at the base of a riser, across horizontal duct runs, bends and junctions and access panels.
Work in a small place like Mid Lavant starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Mid Lavant
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- How easy every part is to reach
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Parking and loading at the site
- What state the system is in
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
If you need ductwork cleaning in Mid Lavant, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Mid Lavant
Risers carry the extract up through the building. Grease collects on the riser walls and gathers at the bottom as liquid grease runs down. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
Clients typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- Readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
Historic houses near Mid Lavant, such as Goodwood House about 1.9 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Mid Lavant run smoothly.
- We start by working out how the duct runs and where it can be opened.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- Access panels are opened and heavy deposits scraped out by hand.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- Readings and pictures are repeated and any section we couldn’t reach is recorded.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know about parking and loading

FAQs for Mid Lavant
Who is the fire and rescue service for Mid Lavant?
Fire safety enforcement in Mid Lavant is handled by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you work in villages like Mid Lavant?
Yes, Mid Lavant is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
Short runs are quick, but long or complex ducts may take several visits. Visits are planned out of hours.
How do you know if the ductwork needs cleaning?
The date on the last certificate is the first thing to check. If it’s overdue, or there is not one, a clean is due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, we fit access panels where the duct needs them. It means more of the duct can be cleaned next time, and the report will show where they’re needed.
Leave it or put it right?
A fire in a greasy duct is hard to reach and hard to stop. It can travel through the ductwork to other parts of the building, which is why the duct matters as much as the canopy. A planned visit to Mid Lavant is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
Grease readings are taken again at the same set points, giving you before and after readings. Before and after photos sit next to the numbers.
Book the next duct clean before the date passes. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval may need to shorten, and grease thickness testing will show it.
