Ductwork cleaning in Rusper, done properly
No two duct runs are the same, in Rusper or anywhere else. Some run a short distance to an outside wall, others climb several floors to the roof. We map the route during the survey, so we know where to get in and how long it will take. The work covers vertical risers, access panels and multi-storey ducts, and people most often call us about an insurer asking for TR19 evidence and readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test.
Somewhere as small as Rusper, 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Common problems we fix in Rusper
Grease in a duct running from a kitchen in Rusper is as much a fire risk as in any building. Burning grease can carry fire through the ductwork to other rooms or floors, which is why the responsible person needs it under control.
Clients usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Thick crusts of old grease along the duct
- Sections of duct with no access panels
- Stale grease odours from the duct
- High readings at a recent grease test
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Rusper is Crawley Hospital, about 3.6 miles east.

How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. For a village or hamlet like Rusper, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- 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.
- Post-clean readings and photos go into the report, with any unreachable section listed.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Advice
Why act early in Rusper
Grease left in a duct in Rusper hardens over time. Heat and age turn it into a thick, stubborn crust, which makes each delayed clean a bigger one. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

What the work involves, part by part
Vertical risers
A riser takes the duct up through one or more floors. Grease collects on the walls and at the foot of the riser, so the base is one of our test points.
Horizontal duct runs
The underside of a horizontal duct collects the most grease. Thick deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
What affects the quote in Rusper
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The scale of the work
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition we find in the survey
- How many systems or sites are involved
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

What a clean won’t put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what ductwork cleaning will not do:
- Parts of the duct with no way in
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.

FAQs for Rusper
Can you come to Rusper after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Rusper can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Which environmental health team covers Rusper?
That is Horsham council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Rusper. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
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.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, if we can see what we need. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, then a fixed quote.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How long does it take to clean extract ducts?
Allow a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. We will confirm the time when we quote.
What happens if there are not enough access panels?
Any section we cannot reach is recorded on the report, in line with TR19. We can fit new access panels so they’re cleaned next time.
