When to call us in Trolliloes
The further the air travels from the cooking, the cooler it gets. As it cools, the grease it carries condenses onto the duct walls, so duct runs keep collecting grease long after the canopy.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Heavy grease at the base of a riser
- Smells of old cooking grease from the ductwork
- Duct runs that can’t be reached
- Grease seeping out of the duct seams
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Horselunges Manor is about 3.7 miles south-west), access may need planning.
Before booking anyone

Ductwork cleaning in Trolliloes, done properly
The ductwork is where an extract clean is won or lost. Sections with no way in can go uncleaned for years. Each section we can reach is cleaned, and any we cannot is written down, so you know exactly where you stand. If you are dealing with a grease test showing the duct is overdue and duct runs with no cleaning record, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Trolliloes, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Grease, kitchens and Trolliloes
East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Trolliloes. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Trolliloes is about 44 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
A hospital like Hellingly Hospital, about 2.8 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

FAQs for Trolliloes
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Trolliloes?
Fire safety enforcement in Trolliloes is handled by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Is Trolliloes within the area you cover?
Yes, Trolliloes is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Can extra access doors be added to the duct?
Yes, we fit access panels where the duct needs them. That lets the next clean reach sections that were missed, and the report will show where they’re needed.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Will I get a report after the ducts are cleaned?
A full system clean comes with a TR19 certificate and a photo report. It includes readings, pictures and any unreachable sections.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
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. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Book the next clean before the recommended date
- Ask for a grease thickness test if the kitchen gets busier
- Report any grease dripping from duct joints
- Keep your cleaning records together
The report gives a recommended next clean date, based on the readings and your daily cooking hours, in line with BESA guidance.
Run the extract the whole time the kitchen is cooking. Moving air carries vapour through rather than letting it settle, so switching off early adds to the build-up.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes anything from a few hours to several visits, depending on the length of duct. In a small place like Trolliloes, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- Diagnosis: a survey of the duct’s route, size and access.
- 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.
- The duct is signed off with readings, photos and a next clean date.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

What else we do in Trolliloes
What the work involves, part by part
Bends and transitions
Grease tends to pile up at elbows. It’s scraped out and degreased, and test it before and after.
Access panels
Panels have to seal properly once they’re closed so the duct stays tight. We’ll tell you if any panel needs replacing.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Fire dampers that don’t close (they need testing and remedials)
- Sections that cannot be reached safely without new access (those are recorded, and panels can be fitted)
- Leaking duct joints that need repair
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
