South Harting ductwork cleaning
We cover South Harting for cleaning of kitchen extract ductwork, horizontal runs and vertical risers through access panels. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with photos on every job.
- Grease pooling at the foot of the riser
- Hardened, baked-on grease in long horizontal runs
- A duct nobody has opened in years
How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near South Harting, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- Once the kitchen has closed, we protect the area and open the panels.
- Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
- We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Move anything stored near the system
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Ductwork cleaning in South Harting
Not sure when the ductwork was last cleaned? A few details about the system are a good start when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will send you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, usually within one working day. If you have thick crusts of old grease along the duct and stale grease odours from the duct, we can help, from multi-storey ducts, access panels and bends and junctions onwards.
Work in a small place like South Harting starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What else we do in South Harting
What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Faulty fire dampers
- Sections that cannot be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- Duct sections that need replacing
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How we price ductwork cleaning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The size of the system
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Want a quote for ductwork cleaning? Please call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site. We will explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
Signs you need ductwork cleaning in South Harting
Air cools as it moves away from the canopy. Cooling air drops its grease onto the inside of the duct, so duct runs keep collecting grease long after the canopy.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Fat dripping from the ductwork
- A duct nobody has opened in years
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- An insurer asking for TR19 evidence
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Petersfield Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to South Harting, about 3.6 miles north-west.
Comparing quotes
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report

Why deal with it now?
Fire inside a duct is out of sight and out of reach. It can travel through the ductwork to other parts of the building, which is why the duct matters as much as the canopy. In a small place like South Harting, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Why book with us
- We’re fully insured
- A written report with pictures after each visit
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

South Harting kitchens: local notes
There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central South Harting, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever those kitchens cook under a canopy, the horizontal runs and risers need cleaning as well as the hood. Food hygiene inspections in South Harting 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 photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in South Harting falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of St Mary & St Gabriel or anywhere around South Harting, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Uppark is about 1.2 miles south-west), access may need planning.

Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Don’t switch the extract off early
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
- Consider fitting panels where the report shows gaps
The report names every part of the duct that couldn’t be reached, with the reason. We can fit access panels so those sections are cleaned next time.
Grease that never reaches the duct never needs cleaning out of it. Keep the filters clean, well fitted and in place whenever you cook.
South Harting: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in South Harting?
Food hygiene inspections in South Harting are carried out by Chichester council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can a school canteen extract in South Harting be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 3 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of South Harting. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will fit the work in.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Is South Harting in your area?
Yes. South Harting is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
