Ductwork Cleaning in Peacehaven

- Years of grease along the duct floor
Ductwork cleaning in Peacehaven, done properly
Every duct has its own route. Some run a short distance to an outside wall, others climb several floors to the roof. The survey traces the route, so we know where to get in and how long it will take. If you’re dealing with smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork and thick crusts of old grease along the duct, we can put it right.
In a smaller place like Peacehaven, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How we price ductwork cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet

Common problems we fix in Peacehaven
Risers carry the extract up through the building. 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.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
A hospital like Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital, about 2.9 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
What your quote should include

Managing agents and facilities teams in Peacehaven

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Get panels fitted where the duct couldn’t be cleaned
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
A full system clean includes a TR19 certificate from the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It shows when and where the clean was done and by whom.
Keep to the cleaning interval on the report. A change in cooking hours may change the interval under BESA guidance, and grease thickness testing will show it.
Peacehaven kitchens: local notes
Sea air reaches Peacehaven, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Look up Peacehaven on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 15 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 8 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Peacehaven. Each kitchen that cooks under a canopy sends grease-laden air into a duct, where it cools and settles. Food hygiene inspections in Peacehaven are the job of Lewes council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Ascension Church or elsewhere in Peacehaven, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. School kitchens, at schools like Peacehaven Community School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Peacehaven: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Peacehaven?
That’s East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Is Peacehaven within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Peacehaven is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, extra panels can be fitted. That lets the next clean reach sections that were missed, and the report will show where they’re needed.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
When is the ductwork cleaned?
We plan the clean when you’re not cooking. Most kitchens book overnight or weekend cleans, so no service is lost.
What the work involves, part by part
Bends and transitions
A bend can hold far more grease than a straight run of the same length. We clean it back by hand and with degreaser, and readings are taken there before and after.
Access panels
Access panels are the doors that let us into the duct. Without them, parts of the duct cannot be reached, and TR19 expects them to be recorded.
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Your opening hours decide when we come to Peacehaven, not ours.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Why deal with it now?
Grease left in a duct in Peacehaven hardens over time. It bakes into a hard layer that takes far longer to remove, which makes each delayed clean a bigger one. Booking now means the visit to Peacehaven is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
