About our ductwork cleaning in Punnett's Town
Between the canopy and the fan runs the ductwork, hidden above ceilings and inside walls. Every horizontal run and vertical riser collects grease along the way, and that is where a kitchen fire can travel. Our ductwork cleaning reaches inside the runs and risers through access panels, to BESA TR19® Grease. If you have duct runs with no cleaning record and a duct clean needed for an insurer, we can help.
In a small place like Punnett's Town, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Grease, kitchens and Punnett's Town
Fire safety in Punnett's Town falls to East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. It’s Wealden council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Punnett's Town. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Punnett's Town (Bateman's is about 3.6 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care. For schools such as Punnetts Town Community Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Do you need ductwork cleaning in Punnett's Town?
A duct with too few access doors cannot be fully cleaned. Sections between panels go uncleaned, sometimes since the system was installed, and the grease there keeps building out of sight.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- A rancid smell from the extract duct
- Grease leaking from duct joints
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Hellingly Hospital is the nearest hospital to Punnett's Town, about 5.3 miles south.
Questions to ask before you book
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- When the next visit should be, and why
- What’s included in the scope, part by part

What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Punnett's Town, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Clear the space around the work

Advice
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A failed fan motor at the end of the duct (a fan repair job)
- Ductwork that was poorly designed
- Fire dampers that do not close (they need testing and remedials)
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Your questions about ductwork cleaning in Punnett's Town
Can you come to Punnett's Town after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Punnett's Town keeps running as normal. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Will you come out to Punnett's Town?
Yes. Punnett's Town is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
What does ductwork cleaning cost?
Every site is different, so each gets its own fixed quote. To get one, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, opening hours and a few pictures.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
Signs include grease dripping from joints, smells and a fan working harder, but the only sure way is to measure. A WFTT or DTT reading gives a clear answer.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Can you clean ductwork with no access panels?
Without a way in, a section can’t be cleaned properly. We record those sections on the report and can fit access panels.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
You will get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- The scale of the work
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- A single visit or a regular plan
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Any previous report or certificate
- The site address and the type of premises
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
