Ductwork cleaning in Stunts Green, done properly

Duct cleaning is the hardest part of an extract clean, and the part most often skipped. Without enough access panels, long stretches can go years without being touched. Each section we can reach is cleaned, and any we cannot is written down, so you know exactly where you stand. If you have a grease test showing the duct is overdue and a rancid smell from the extract duct, we can help, from multi-storey ducts, bends and junctions and horizontal duct runs onwards.

Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.

It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

FAQs for Stunts Green

Is Stunts Green within the area you cover?

Yes, Stunts Green is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.

Which fire service covers Stunts Green?

Fire safety enforcement in Stunts Green is handled by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.

How much notice should we give?

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.

What accreditations do you have?

BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.

When is the ductwork cleaned?

When the kitchen is closed. Larger systems may be cleaned over several nights, with the kitchen ready to cook each morning.

What do you need from me for a quote?

Where the site is, what it is and when it’s open, along with a few pictures and any previous report.

What happens if there aren’t enough access panels?

Every reachable section is cleaned and the rest recorded. Fitting extra access panels is the usual answer, and we can do that for you.

Is a quote from photos possible?

Yes, where the photos show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.

How it works

There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Somewhere as small as Stunts Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.

  1. The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
  2. Grease thickness is measured at set points.
  3. Out of hours, the area is protected and the access panels opened.
  4. Thick grease is scraped out, then the runs and risers are degreased.
  5. We close up, re-test, photograph and record anything out of reach.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions
  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
  • Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Getting a quote

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

What affects the quote in Stunts Green

The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:

  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
  • Any permits to work or inductions
  • Travel, parking and unloading
  • Whether several sites go on one quote

What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Asking for a quote

Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:

  • A few general shots of the system
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • The postcode and the type of business
  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.

Keeping the system healthy

To keep the system working properly between visits:

  • Do not block access panels with shelving or stock
  • Make sure filters are seated properly
  • Report any grease dripping from duct joints
  • File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log

File the paperwork in the maintenance log. It’s the evidence an insurer or inspector may ask for, and the pictures make the duct’s condition easy to see.

Have access panels fitted where sections can’t be reached. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.

Leave it or put it right?

There’s no law that names TR19. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and grease in the duct is part of that. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Stunts Green is calmer for everyone.

No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

What you get with us

  • Survey first, then a fixed quote
  • We are fully insured
  • A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
  • Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001

Signs you need ductwork cleaning in Stunts Green

Many ducts don’t have enough access panels. Sections between panels go uncleaned, sometimes since the system was installed, and the grease there keeps building out of sight.

Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • A duct nobody has opened in years
  • A rancid smell from the extract duct
  • Grease leaking from duct joints
  • High readings at a recent grease test

Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Stunts Green is Amberstone Hospital, about 1.8 miles south-west.

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
  • Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
  • When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
  • Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them

Our hiring checklist

What your team can do, and what needs us

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.

What a clean will not put right

We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:

  • A worn-out fan that needs replacing
  • Parts of the duct with no way in
  • A damper stuck open in the duct

If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Where we work

  • Bends and junctions
  • Vertical risers
  • Horizontal duct runs
  • Attenuators
  • Multi-storey ducts
  • Access panels
