How the job changes from site to site
Attenuators and discharge
Some systems have attenuators to reduce noise, and their linings can soak up grease. They’re cleaned where possible and recorded if not.
Bends and transitions
A bend can hold far more grease than a straight run of the same length. It’s scraped out and degreased, and test it before and after.
Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Mill Corner
We treat ductwork like a doctor treats arteries: find the blockages, clear them, then check the flow is right. Readings taken before and after show the difference, alongside before and after pictures. The work covers horizontal duct runs, bends and junctions and multi-storey ducts, and the jobs we see most are grease pooling at the foot of the riser and ductwork that has never been cleaned.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with the ductwork in Mill Corner now beats dealing with it after a problem. It takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points, done out of hours so the kitchen keeps cooking. If the system at a site near Mill Corner fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Mill Corner
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The times the site is available
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition of the system
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your last certificate, test record or report
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

FAQs for Mill Corner
Is Mill Corner within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Mill Corner included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Mill Corner?
It’s East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Mill Corner. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What information do you need?
Some photos and a quick description of the system plus the address and your hours. If we need more, we will ask.
How often should kitchen ducts be cleaned?
It depends mostly on daily cooking hours. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means at least every 3 months, while lighter use can go longer.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Can you fit access panels in our ductwork?
Yes, we fit access panels where the duct needs them. That lets the next clean reach sections that were missed, and the report will show where they’re needed.
What types of premises do you cover?
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.
When to call us in Mill Corner
Grease filters that don’t seal let fat straight through. More grease reaches the ductwork than it should, and build-up speeds up.
Clients typically contact us when they notice something like this:
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Grease leaking from duct joints
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Northiam Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Before you book anyone
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Whether the quote shows VAT
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
