How we handle ductwork cleaning in Mountfield
Each extract duct we take on in Mountfield goes through the full routine: we test the grease first, remove thick deposits by hand and degrease what’s left. Post-clean readings and pictures complete the record. The work covers multi-storey ducts, bends and junctions and horizontal duct runs, and common reasons people get in touch are readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test and heavy grease at the base of a riser.
For a kitchen in or near Mountfield, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Ductwork cleaning around Mountfield
Food hygiene inspections in Mountfield are the job of Rother council’s environmental health team. 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. East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Mountfield. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Mountfield (Durhamford Manor is about 2 miles east), fitting access panels needs care. School kitchens, at schools like Vinehall School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

How the job changes from site to site
Horizontal duct runs
A long flat run can’t be cleaned from one end. Any stretch out of reach is noted and can fit extra panels.
Access panels
We can fit new access panels where the duct needs them, making future cleans more complete. The survey shows where they’re needed.
How we price ductwork cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, 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 Mountfield run smoothly.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- Readings, pictures and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Find the previous report, if there is one

For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What ductwork cleaning cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Horizontal duct runs
- Bends and junctions
- Attenuators
- Vertical risers
- Access panels
- Multi-storey ducts
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the surrounding area is left clean. Grease and dirty water are contained and removed.
Have access panels fitted where sections can’t be reached. It does not stop grease forming, but it stops it building unseen.
When to call us in Mountfield
Many ducts do not have enough access panels. Stretches with no way in may never have been touched, and the grease there keeps building out of sight.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Parish Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Mountfield, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Questions to ask before booking
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What insurance they carry
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
Questions from Mountfield
Will you come out to Mountfield?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Mountfield is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can school kitchens in Mountfield be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Mountfield, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
We survey the route, test the grease, then open the access panels. We clean the runs and risers section by section, then the readings are repeated.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Will the duct clean disrupt the kitchen?
The duct is cleaned out of hours, so evenings, nights and weekends are all possible. The extract and cooking equipment need to be off.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
A photo report, with readings and before and after pictures, plus a TR19 certificate for a full system clean. The report says when the next clean is due.
How much notice do you need?
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.
