Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Normans' Bay
Each extract duct we take on in Normans' Bay goes through the full routine: we test the grease first, remove thick deposits by hand and degrease what’s left. Post-clean readings and photos complete the record. Typical jobs include fat dripping from the ductwork and a rancid smell from the extract duct, across attenuators, multi-storey ducts and bends and junctions.
Somewhere as small as Normans' Bay, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Somewhere like Normans' Bay, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- Each section is cleaned in turn through its access 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
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Clear the space around the work
Ask for a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

How the job changes from site to site
Vertical risers
In taller buildings, a riser may pass through several floors and fire compartments, where fire dampers may be fitted. Damper testing is a separate service.
Access panels
Extra panels can be installed where there are gaps, so the next clean reaches more of the system. The survey shows where they’re needed.
Why act early in Normans' Bay
Old grease in a duct for a kitchen in Normans' Bay doesn’t stay soft. It bakes into a hard layer that takes far longer to remove, so the later the clean, the bigger the job. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What you get with us
- Fully insured
- Every visit written up, with pictures
- We diagnose before we treat
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
Take a look at what affects the cost and our accreditations.
Do you need ductwork cleaning in Normans' Bay?
Grease filters that don’t seal let fat straight through. The duct then takes grease that the filters should have stopped and it fills faster.
Clients usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Bexhill Hospital (about 4 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What your quote should include
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether they recommend a next date
- If they look at the system before pricing
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
File the paperwork in the maintenance log. An insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask to see it, and the photos make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Keep the fan on throughout service. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.

Normans' Bay: your questions answered
Which fire authority looks after Normans' Bay?
East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Normans' Bay. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you work at weekends in Normans' Bay?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
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.
How often should kitchen ducts be cleaned?
At least as often as BESA guidance sets for your cooking hours. Heavy use of 12 to 16 hours a day means at least every 3 months, while lighter use can go longer.
What ductwork cleaning can’t fix
Ductwork cleaning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Ductwork that is corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
- A damper stuck open in the duct
- Sections that cannot be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
