When to call us in Nash Street
A duct with too few access doors cannot be fully cleaned. Stretches with no way in may never have been touched, and the grease there keeps building out of sight.
Clients typically contact us when they notice something like this:
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- High readings at a recent grease test
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Chiddingly Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether they recommend a next date

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Nash Street
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The number of sites or systems
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition of the system
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Part by part
Bends and transitions
Grease tends to pile up at elbows. It’s scraped out and degreased, and test it before and after.
Horizontal duct runs
Flat runs of duct link the canopy to the riser or the outside wall. They collect grease as the air cools and slows, so each section is cleaned through its access panels.
Ductwork cleaning around Nash Street
Look up Nash Street on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Nash Street, up to about a mile and a half out. Each kitchen that cooks under a canopy sends grease-laden air into a duct, where it cools and settles. East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Nash Street. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Environmental health officers from Wealden council inspect food businesses in Nash Street. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Where a hall near The Parish Church, or anywhere in Nash Street, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

When it’s something else

- Faulty fire dampers
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- Parts of the duct with no way in
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work
- Bends and junctions
- Access panels
- Horizontal duct runs
- Multi-storey ducts
- Attenuators
- Vertical risers
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
Keep the certificate and report with the fire risk assessment. It’s the evidence an insurer or inspector may ask for, and the pictures make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Some signs mean the duct needs attention sooner: grease leaking from duct joints, smells, or a fan that sounds rough. Testing will show whether any section has reached 500 microns.
What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Nash Street run smoothly.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Questions from Nash Street
Do you work in villages like Nash Street?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Nash Street included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work overnight in Nash Street?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Nash Street can fit around your hours. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Which sectors do you work in?
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.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Nash Street?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Do I get a certificate for ductwork cleaning?
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. It includes readings, pictures and any unreachable sections.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
