About our ductwork cleaning in Salvington
Ductwork in Salvington is cleaned the same thorough way as everywhere else we work: readings at set points, heavy grease scraped out by hand, then degreasing to suit the deposit. Readings are taken again afterwards and pictures go into your report. Typical jobs include stale grease odours from the duct and thick crusts of old grease along the duct, on horizontal duct runs, attenuators and vertical risers.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Salvington gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Salvington
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site rules, permits and inductions
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The postcode and the type of business
- A few general shots of the system
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
When something else is needed
Ductwork cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Duct sealed behind fixed ceilings or walls
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
- Fire dampers that don’t close (they need testing and remedials)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Diarise the next duct clean
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
When the duct is cleaned as part of a full TR19® Grease clean, a TR19 certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. It records the date, the location and the technician.
Watch for warning signs between cleans: drips from the ductwork, stale smells or a noisy fan. A grease thickness test can confirm whether a spot clean is needed.
Salvington questions
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Salvington during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 13 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Salvington. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll fit the work in.
Does coastal air change anything about ductwork cleaning in Salvington?
It can. Salvington is within about 3 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. A fan housing that’s rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
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 survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Is a quote from photos possible?
Yes, if we can see what we need. If not, a site survey comes first, and the quote follows that.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Leave it or put it right?
BESA guidance says grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans. A reading of 500 microns or more at any point means a spot clean right away. Leaving the duct makes those limits harder to keep to. When a site near Salvington shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

When to call us in Salvington
Slow air leaves the most grease behind. Long horizontal runs, bends, changes in size and the foot of a riser all collect more, and those are the points we pay most attention to.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- A duct clean needed for an insurer
- Years of grease along the duct floor
Ecclesden Manor, about 3.2 miles west, is one of the historic houses near Salvington; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether the price is fixed
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
How it works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. 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. Around Salvington, access is typically simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- We map the duct route and check where the access panels are.
- Grease readings are taken at set points along the duct.
- Through the access panels, thick grease is removed by hand first.
- The duct is degreased with the method that suits the grease, from degreasers to hot water or steam.
- We test again, take photos and note any part that couldn’t be reached.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
Ductwork cleaning around Salvington
The coast is only about 3 miles from Salvington. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food Standards Agency records list about 64 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 56 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Salvington, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they cook under a canopy, grease doesn’t stop at the filters: it settles along the duct and up the riser. Salvington is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Where a hall near St Symphorian's Church, or anywhere in Salvington, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as The Acre (about 1.9 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
