Ductwork cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Telscombe Cliffs
Each extract duct we take on in Telscombe Cliffs goes through the full routine: 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. If you have thick crusts of old grease along the duct and grease leaking from duct joints, we can put it right, from bends and junctions, multi-storey ducts and access panels onwards.
Kitchens around a place like Telscombe Cliffs are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
The report is your 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 if it’s left?
Insurers know the risk of a greasy duct. Many require cleaning to TR19, and they can refuse or reduce a claim without proof. Your certificate and photo report show the ducts were cleaned. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.

Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Telscombe Cliffs?

Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What about areas you can’t get to?
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.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what kind of site, when it’s open and the access. Photos and any previous paperwork make it quicker. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
How long will the duct clean take?
Duct length, access and grease levels all affect it. Typically it takes a shift or more, depending on the length of the runs and the number of access points.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Ductwork cleaning in Telscombe Cliffs: the local picture
At about 1 mile from the coast, Telscombe Cliffs is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 9 bars, pubs and nightclubs within about 1.5 miles of central Telscombe Cliffs. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Kitchens in Telscombe Cliffs get their food hygiene inspections from Lewes council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Where a hall near Ascension Church, or anywhere in Telscombe Cliffs, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. School kitchens, at schools like Telscombe Cliffs Community Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Historic houses near Telscombe Cliffs, such as Monk's House about 3 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Fixed quotes for ductwork cleaning in Telscombe Cliffs
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The size of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Travel, parking and unloading
- What state the system is in
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.

What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, 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. We plan the journey to Telscombe Cliffs and bring what the job is likely to need.
- The duct route is surveyed and every access point found.
- Grease thickness is measured at set points.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Related advice
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Make sure filters are seated properly
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections can’t be reached
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Have the grease measured if cooking hours go up
Every panel we open is refitted when we finish, and the surrounding area is left clean. Waste grease and water are taken away.
The less grease gets past the canopy, the cleaner the duct stays. Clean, properly seated filters are the duct’s best protection.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
- Fire dampers that do not close (they need testing and remedials)
- Ductwork that’s corroded, split or holed (that needs a ductwork contractor)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
