Ductwork Cleaning in Russell's Green
One call covers ductwork cleaning in Russell's Green, from survey to sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- A grease test showing the duct is overdue
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep your cleaning records together
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
After the clean, the same points are tested again, so the report shows the before and after figures. Before and after pictures sit next to the numbers.
Keep the fan on throughout service. When the air stops, grease settles in the duct, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
Ductwork cleaning in Russell's Green, done properly
Duct cleaning is the hardest part of an extract clean, and the part most often skipped. Sections with no way in can go uncleaned for years. Each section we can reach is cleaned, and any we cannot is written down, so you know exactly where you stand. The work covers attenuators, multi-storey ducts and bends and junctions, and people most often call us about duct runs with no cleaning record and grease leaking from duct joints.
Somewhere as small as Russell's Green, 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, whatever the size of the place.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a few hours for a short run, longer for long runs and tall risers. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Russell's Green knowing what to expect.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- We open the panels and scrape out the heaviest grease.
- Next the ducts and risers are degreased, using whatever suits the deposit.
- We test again, take pictures and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Ductwork cleaning in Russell's Green: the local picture
At about 3 miles from the coast, Russell's Green is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. In Russell's 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. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Russell's Green. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Russell's Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Bexhill Hospital about 3.1 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. For schools such as Ninfield Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Questions from Russell's Green
Does coastal air change anything about ductwork cleaning in Russell's Green?
It can. Russell's Green is within about 3 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Which fire authority looks after Russell's Green?
Russell's Green is in the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Are you accredited?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
Do you cover Russell's Green?
Yes. We work in Russell's Green and across East Sussex, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
How often does extract ductwork need cleaning?
The minimum depends on how long the kitchen cooks each day: every 3 months for 12 to 16 hours, 6 months for 6 to 12 hours and 12 months for 2 to 6 hours. Measured grease sets the real interval.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Typically, yes. Send wide shots, close-ups of any access panels and anything that worries you, and a fixed quote typically follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we will say so.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
What affects the cost of ductwork cleaning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Parking and loading at the site
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition we find in the survey
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Part by part
Bends and transitions
Wherever the duct turns or changes size, grease builds up. The air slows and drops its load, so these points get extra attention.
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, which is one of the points we test.
