Ductwork cleaning in Singleton
We’ve been trading since 2009, working across London and the South East. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, with each certificate issued through the BESCA portal. The work covers horizontal duct runs, attenuators and multi-storey ducts, and people most often call us about proof of duct cleaning for the insurer and readings above 200 microns from a grease thickness test.
For a kitchen in or near Singleton, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes from a few hours to more than one visit, depending on duct length and access. Visits to a village like Singleton are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- We take grease readings along the route.
- Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
- Heavy deposits come out by hand, then each section is degreased.
- Panels are closed, readings and pictures repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
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
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Ductwork cleaning around Singleton
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs, bars and clubs in Singleton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Food hygiene inspections in Singleton are the job of Chichester council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Singleton falls to 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.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Chichester Centre is the nearest hospital to Singleton, about 4.5 miles south. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Singleton (West Dean House is about 1.2 miles west), fitting access panels needs care.
Singleton is about 5 miles north of Chichester, in West Sussex.

Singleton: your questions answered
Is Singleton within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Singleton?
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Singleton. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
It takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. The survey tells us how long your duct needs.
When is the ductwork cleaned?
We clean while the kitchen is closed, so evenings, nights and weekends are all possible. Equipment and the extract are switched off while we work.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, for many jobs. Send a few wide photos plus close-ups of panels, filters or grilles, and a fixed quote normally follows within one working day. Some sites still need a visit, and we’ll say so.
How often should kitchen ducts be cleaned?
It depends mostly on daily cooking hours. Kitchens cooking 12 to 16 hours a day need it at least every 3 months, while lighter use can go longer.
What information do you need?
Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few photos and any previous report.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Different parts, different methods
Vertical risers
Cleaning a riser needs access along its height. Where it can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
Bends and transitions
Bends, elbows and changes of size are where grease collects most. The air slows and drops its load, so these points get extra attention.

How we price ductwork cleaning
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The times the site is available
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site rules, permits and inductions
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- A few general shots of the system
For ductwork cleaning in Singleton, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
When to call us in Singleton
The further the air travels from the cooking, the cooler it gets. Cooling air drops its grease onto the inside of the duct, which is why ducts go on gathering grease well beyond the filters.
Clients normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Thick deposits at the bottom of a vertical duct
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary or anywhere around Singleton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Before you book anyone
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the price is fixed
- What hours they’ll be on site
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Flag drips from the duct straight away
- Keep the fan on while anything is cooking
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Keep to the interval on the report
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.
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.
