Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
How we handle ductwork cleaning in Nutbourne
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? Tell us about the system when you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will give you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, usually within one working day. The work covers bends and junctions, attenuators and horizontal duct runs, and people most often call us about smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork and gaps where access panels were never fitted.
Somewhere as small as Nutbourne, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What we’re called out for in Nutbourne
A vertical riser can run up several floors. Grease clings to the walls and can run down to the base as liquid grease runs down. Access along its height is needed to clean it properly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Nutbourne is Havant War Memorial Hospital, about 4.6 miles west.
Questions to ask before booking
- What insurance they carry
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether they recommend a next date
How the visit works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Somewhere like Nutbourne, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- Horizontal runs and risers are then degreased by the method that suits the deposit.
- We test again, take pictures and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Kitchen extracts in Nutbourne
Sea air reaches Nutbourne, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops across Nutbourne and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each kitchen that cooks under a canopy sends grease-laden air into a duct, where it cools and settles. Environmental health officers from Chichester council inspect food businesses in Nutbourne. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Chidham Parochial Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Wilfrid's Church and Hall or elsewhere in Nutbourne, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Nutbourne: your questions answered
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Nutbourne in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. With about 4 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Nutbourne, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
Who inspects food businesses in Nutbourne?
Food hygiene inspections in Nutbourne are carried out by Chichester council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and the last report help too. After that, simply phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What’s involved in cleaning extract ducts?
We get into the duct through its access panels. Heavy grease is scraped out by hand, then the surfaces are degreased with a method that suits the deposit, such as degreasers, hot water or steam.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What happens if there are not enough access panels?
Sections out of reach are written down on the report, in line with TR19. New panels can be fitted to reach them in future.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Keep grease filters clean and fitted whenever you cook
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Keep your cleaning records together
The report gives a recommended next clean date, worked out from the grease we found and how long you cook each day, in line with BESA guidance.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
Why it’s worth doing now in Nutbourne
There’s no law that names TR19. The Fire Safety Order 2005 makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, including the grease inside the extract ductwork. With notice, the visit to Nutbourne can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

What the work involves, part by part
Attenuators and discharge
Attenuators, where fitted, quieten the extract, but they can hold grease in their linings. They’re cleaned where possible and recorded if not.
Access panels
Panels have to seal properly once they’re closed so the duct stays tight. A damaged panel is noted on the report.
