Different parts, different methods
Attenuators and discharge
Near the discharge, the air has cooled the most, so it can collect more grease than expected. It’s tested and cleaned along with the rest.
Bends and transitions
Bends, elbows and changes of size are where grease collects most. The air slows and drops its load, so these points get extra attention.
Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Peasmarsh
If the ducts in Peasmarsh haven’t been cleaned for a while, or nobody is sure when they were? Tell us about the system when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and a fixed price will follow, typically within one working day. The work covers vertical risers, horizontal duct runs and bends and junctions, and the jobs we see most are grease leaking from duct joints and high readings at a recent grease test.
In a small place like Peasmarsh, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.

Common problems we fix in Peasmarsh
Grease filters that do not seal let fat straight through. The duct then takes grease that the filters should have stopped and it fills faster.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Duct runs with no cleaning record
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Peasmarsh Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Questions to ask before booking
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the figure could change on the day
Peasmarsh kitchens: local notes
Food hygiene inspections in Peasmarsh 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. At about 50 miles from central London, Peasmarsh sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere in Peasmarsh, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Peasmarsh (Lamb House is about 2.5 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.
Peasmarsh is about 9 miles north-east of Hastings, in East Sussex. Peasmarsh gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with photos. Peasmarsh is one of 289 towns, villages and districts in East Sussex we cover for ductwork cleaning. There’s also a page for Maidstone, roughly 21 miles from Peasmarsh.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
What we do, step by step
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Peasmarsh, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Travel, parking and unloading
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
FAQs for Peasmarsh
Can the work in Peasmarsh be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which council inspects kitchens in Peasmarsh?
That is Rother council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Peasmarsh. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
How much does ductwork cleaning cost in Peasmarsh?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: the size of the system, its condition, access and when we can work. We fix the price before any work starts.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What shows that the ducts need a clean?
Start with the date of the last clean. No record, or a passed date, means it’s due, and grease readings will confirm how urgent it is.
What if part of the duct cannot be reached?
Sections out of reach are written down on the report, as TR19 expects. New panels can be fitted to reach them in future.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Diarise the next duct clean
- Do not switch the extract off early
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
File the paperwork in the maintenance log. It’s the evidence an insurer or inspector may ask for, and the photos make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Extra access panels mean more of the duct gets cleaned each time. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
