How the job changes from site to site
Attenuators and discharge
At the end of the duct is the discharge. Grease can collect there and stain the area around it, so it’s cleaned as far as safe access allows.
Access panels
After cleaning, every panel is closed and sealed, so grease and air stay inside the duct. We’ll tell you if any panel needs replacing.
About our ductwork cleaning in Pell Green
Many ducts were installed with too few access doors. Where a section cannot be reached, TR19 expects it to be recorded on the report, and new panels can be fitted to reach it in future. It’s better to know than to assume. If you have duct runs with no cleaning record and a grease test showing the duct is overdue, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Pell Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

When to call us in Pell Green
A vertical riser can run up several floors. Grease clings to the walls and can run down to the base, where it can pool. Panels along the riser make proper cleaning possible.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Grease leaking from duct joints
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- Ductwork that has never been cleaned
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Rehoboth Chapel or elsewhere in Pell Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether a written report and photos are included
What a clean will not put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- Fire dampers that don’t close (they need testing and remedials)
- A duct that’s too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Pell Green, let us know and we will plan around it.
- First the duct route is traced and every access point noted.
- Set points along the runs are tested for grease.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know about parking and loading

Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.

Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Leave a way through to the access panels
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.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease left in a duct in Pell Green hardens over time. It bakes into a hard layer that takes far longer to remove, so the later the clean, the bigger the job. It’s simpler to plan the work at Pell Green now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Grease, kitchens and Pell Green
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Pell Green. Where they cook under a canopy, grease does not stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. Fire safety in Pell Green falls to East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In Pell Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Wealden council. 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.
For schools such as Wadhurst CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Wadhurst Castle, about 0.9 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses near Pell Green; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Pell Green is in the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.

Can you quote from pictures?
Often, yes. Photos of the system and the access, plus your opening hours and last report, are often enough. Larger or hidden systems need a survey on site first.
