How we handle ductwork cleaning in Seaford
Ductwork in Seaford is cleaned the same thorough way as everywhere else we work: we test the grease first, remove thick deposits by hand and degrease what’s left. Readings are taken again afterwards and photos go into your report. The work covers access panels, bends and junctions and horizontal duct runs, and the jobs we see most are a rancid smell from the extract duct and a grease test showing the duct is overdue.
Kitchens in towns like Seaford are often in older buildings that were never designed for them, so duct runs can be awkward, with bends, long horizontal sections and too few access panels. Where the duct cannot be reached, new panels can be fitted, and anything left uncleaned is recorded on the report.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points. A closed day, an evening or an early start: whichever suits your site in Seaford, we will book around it.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- You get a fixed price before work starts.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- We take extra care at bends and at the foot of risers.
- Readings, pictures and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Run the extract fan throughout service
- Leave a way through to the access panels
- Keep to the interval on the report
- Flag drips from the duct right away
Keep the certificate and report with the fire risk assessment. It’s the evidence an insurer or inspector may ask for, and the pictures make the duct’s condition easy to see.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
What ductwork cleaning looks like in Seaford
At about 1 mile from the coast, Seaford is close enough for sea air to matter. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Look up Seaford on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 40 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 15 takeaways and sandwich shops across Seaford and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each kitchen that cooks under a canopy sends grease-laden air into a duct, where it cools and settles. Seaford is covered by 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.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital is the nearest hospital to Seaford, about 1.8 miles west. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Seaford Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Thomas More, or anywhere in Seaford, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Seaford: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for Seaford?
Seaford 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.
Can the work in Seaford be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Seaford needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
Do you work in Seaford?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Seaford included.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do we need to close while you work?
Normally not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
What happens if there aren’t enough access panels?
We clean everything we can reach and record what we cannot. Fitting extra access panels is the usual answer, and we can do that for you.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Seaford
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across East Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Part by part
Bends and transitions
A bend can hold far more grease than a straight run of the same length. We clean it back by hand and with degreaser, and test it before and after.
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of a flat duct run. Thick deposits are scraped out by hand before degreasing, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
