Tinsley Green ductwork cleaning
Ductwork cleaning for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Tinsley Green. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Years of grease along the duct floor
- Proof of duct cleaning for the insurer
- Gaps where access panels were never fitted
Why act early in Tinsley Green
BESA guidance says grease shouldn’t exceed a mean of 200 microns between cleans. A reading of 500 microns or more at any point means a spot clean straight away. Putting off the clean only pushes readings higher. A planned visit to Tinsley Green is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
The cost 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 we start, so you know where you stand.
Why book with us
- A fixed price before any work starts
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- A written report with photos after each visit
- Every job surveyed first

How we handle ductwork cleaning in Tinsley Green
If the ducts in Tinsley Green haven’t been cleaned for a while, or nobody is sure when they were? Tell us about the system when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will give you a fixed quote for ductwork cleaning, typically within one working day. If you have sections of duct with no access panels and years of grease along the duct floor, we can help, from vertical risers, bends and junctions and attenuators onwards.
Work in a small place like Tinsley Green 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.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Keep access panels clear of stored items
- File each certificate and photo report in the maintenance log
- Ask us about extra access panels where sections can’t be reached
- Tell us if grease leaks from the ductwork
You will have a recommended date for the next clean, based on the readings and your daily cooking hours, in line with BESA guidance.
Have access panels fitted where sections can’t be reached. Grease you can reach is grease that gets removed.
What a clean won’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Faulty fire dampers
- A worn-out fan that needs replacing
- A duct that is too small or badly routed for the kitchen (a design issue)
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work
- Bends and junctions
- Horizontal duct runs
- Multi-storey ducts
- Access panels
- Vertical risers
- Attenuators
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Different parts, different methods
Horizontal duct runs
Grease settles on the floor of a flat duct run. We scrape out the heavy layer first, then the walls and roof are cleaned too.
Bends and transitions
A bend can hold far more grease than a straight run of the same length. It’s scraped out and degreased, and readings are taken there before and after.
Kitchen extracts in Tinsley Green
Food Standards Agency records include about 9 pubs, bars and clubs and about 8 hotels and B&Bs across Tinsley Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. The fire and rescue service for Tinsley Green is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Kitchens in Tinsley Green get their food hygiene inspections from Crawley council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Where a hall near St Michael and All Angels Church, or anywhere in Tinsley Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Langley Green Hospital is the nearest hospital to Tinsley Green, about 1.8 miles south-west. School kitchens, at schools like Forge Wood Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

How we price ductwork cleaning
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition we find in the survey
- The times the site is available
- Whether several sites go on one quote
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
Tinsley Green: your questions answered
Can you work in Tinsley Green outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Tinsley Green can fit around your hours. When you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Tinsley Green?
West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Tinsley Green. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you cover Tinsley Green?
Yes. Our technicians work in Tinsley Green, within the South East and London area we cover.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How can I tell if my extract ducts are dirty?
We measure it. Readings are taken by Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). A mean above 200 microns, or 500 microns at any point, means it’s due.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
How long does ductwork cleaning take?
A short duct can be cleaned in a few hours, while long ducts and tall risers can need more than one visit. We plan the work around your kitchen.

How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. For a village or hamlet like Tinsley Green, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We trace the duct and find every way in.
- 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.
- Panels are closed, readings and photos repeated, and unreachable sections recorded.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
