How we price ductwork cleaning
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition we find in the survey
- The number of sites or systems
- How easy every part is to reach
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate
- The postcode and the type of business
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Ductwork cleaning in Three Leg Cross, done properly
Ductwork in Three Leg Cross 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 horizontal duct runs, vertical risers and attenuators, and the jobs we see most are grease leaking from duct joints and a duct nobody has opened in years.
Work in a small place like Three Leg Cross starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

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 the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Three Leg Cross can be planned properly.
- First we diagnose: the route, the access and the grease levels.
- A fixed quote follows, based on what we found.
- We clean section by section, working from panel to panel.
- Bends, risers and the base of each riser get extra attention.
- Readings, photos and a recommended next clean date complete the job.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

When to call us in Three Leg Cross
Wherever the kitchen is, in Three Leg Cross or elsewhere, the duct fills in the same way: hours of cooking, the type of food and how well the filters are kept. BESA guidance sets minimum intervals of 3, 6 or 12 months depending on daily use.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- High readings at a recent grease test
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Grease leaking from duct joints
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Ticehurst and Flimwell Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Before booking anyone
- Proof of insurance
- Whether a survey comes first
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
Why it’s worth doing now in Three Leg Cross
A partly blocked duct slows the airflow. The fan works harder, the kitchen gets hotter and smoke lingers at the canopy, and grease may start to leak from joints. Somewhere as small as Three Leg Cross, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What you get with us

Managing agents and facilities teams in Three Leg Cross
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Kitchen extracts in Three Leg Cross
Look up Three Leg Cross on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Three Leg Cross. Wherever those kitchens cook under a canopy, the horizontal runs and risers need cleaning as well as the hood. Three Leg Cross sits within the area of East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Three Leg Cross, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Rother council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
A hospital like Ticehurst House Hospital, about 0.5 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Three Leg Cross (Scotney Castle is about 2.6 miles north), fitting access panels needs care.

When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by ductwork cleaning, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Parts of the duct with no way in
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- Undersized or badly laid-out ducts
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Three Leg Cross: your questions answered
Can you work in Three Leg Cross outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Which environmental health team covers Three Leg Cross?
In Three Leg Cross, it’s Rother council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, we install duct access panels. We place them where they help most, and we will recommend where.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Is a quote from pictures possible?
In many cases, yes. With good pictures, the site type and your last report, we can price many jobs. Where we can’t see enough, we arrange a survey.
